Zine and Be Seen: Promoting Your Work Through Self-Publication

Hi David,, in case you're still following and updating this project I'll give you my feedback, even though I missed the deadline on the 12th. Didn't see it!Anyway, your ides make me think of stories. I think a zine could easily just be about a concept or a visual idea, but it seems like there could easily be a story in one of your topics. What made you move from place to place, and is there maybe a little story that signifies each place for you? Do you still imagine that you are ill with different diseases or has that stopped, and why? How did you come to "abandon" the ideas you had for what you where going to be, and how did you end up doing what you do - was it because of the things you imagined? I don't know if this is helping at all. I hope that if you want to, you will finish the project. I don't even know what "west nile" is...maybe a chance to get some facts on the table and explain disease to someone who doesn't know it, or maybe help another "hypochondriac" rid themselves of the idea that they have it? I don't know how being "sort of" a hypochondriac works, maybe reading about disease makes it worse - how did you realise you didn't have those diseases, did you go to the doctor?Well, your subject are clearly making ME curious :-). Good luck with the zine and the move.

Hey David!I'm going to have to agree with Elsa on this one. I think #4 would be awesome to work off of, though #3 is a close second for me. I can imagine that regardless of which direction you choose, your zine will be very fun to read. Have you narrowed down how you want to make the zine yet (size, format, printing, binding, etc.)? So far, so good. Looking forward to seeing more soon!

I really like #4, feels like it would be a fun one to make and read.

oh great ideas! Your idea about the different places you've lived makes me want to do one similar (since I've moved around a lot). And I really like the idea (and sketch!) for you and your cat. Plenty of great ideas!

This is a rough start; kind of leaning towards the different places I've lived in Denton or turning the thing about my cat and I into something. I'm moving this week, so I'm going to have limited time to work on this, BUT am excited :)<img class="zoomable rounded-image-wrapper" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/0c36db54" alt="Personal Zine - image 1 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/0c36db54 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/0c36db54 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy"><img class="zoomable rounded-image-wrapper" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/0fb4a984" alt="Personal Zine - image 2 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/0fb4a984 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/0fb4a984 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy"><img class="zoomable rounded-image-wrapper" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/ba3bf8b5" alt="Personal Zine - image 3 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/ba3bf8b5 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/ba3bf8b5 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy"><img class="zoomable rounded-image-wrapper" src="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/76ae5997" alt="Personal Zine - image 4 - student project" srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=600,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/76ae5997 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/cdn-cgi/image/quality=80,width=1000,format=auto/uploads/project/5041cc3efdfe6b7510ba01d501fd20da/76ae5997 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" loading="lazy">
