Zine: Illustrations and layout collaboration

Jes Brewer, studying Fashion Photography approached me requesting illustrations and layout for her zine on women, I was really interested in her subject matter and laid out her beautiful photographs from black to white, from the more timid to more expressive and powerful shots. This progression of colour as well as stance is purposely reflective of women and how we're often told to be a certain way, demure, quiet and saturated while the end of the zine is representative of women breaking free from this mould. I also helped name the zine; A woman's touch.

Here are some initial illustrations:

She favoured this outlined style and was specific it was to embody the female form.

Finished zine:

It was a pleasure and a task as her photographs are so lovely I pushed myself to produce this when it wasn't convenient for me, to do them justice. Even the smallest of collaborations have helped me learn throughout this year. Despite not being the best at layout, I feel you can only get better through experimenting and practising. I really enjoyed the illustrative element of this quick collab and was excited to hear her response "perfect, love it!"
