I think the theme that I want to go with is love. Well even before that I had this idea in my head of making my zine of a lot of small simple pieces of art. I might try to make characters that interact throughout a story. Or I may just fill it with simplistic designs that revolve around the theme of love. I really enjoy Keith Haring’s work of the heart with its tongue out (see picture below) and so I’d like to follow a similar design. I also have a couple sketches of small simple things that somewhat center around love. A page where two cartoon character hearts are reaching out and holding hands but are separated by a page seems like a cool idea to me. I kind of like the idea of editing each piece to be somewhat trippy and maybe have a psychedelic feel to them. It’s something I haven't really tried before in photoshop so it might be fun to try and emulate that style.
Just a random tangent/different idea. I thought about maybe taking photos that I have of cool items and using photoshop to mix “reality” and digital art.
I don’t really want to create a story perhaps, I’d rather my zine be more of a collection of stand alone art that revolves around a singular theme. I don’t want my pages to be a full sheet of paper but I also don’t want it to be super small either. I’m thinking it should be about 6inx5in or 5inx4in??
