Overall, the creative report has been a good opportunity to start to build relationships with other creatives at different points in their careers. The advice hared has been appreciated and has helped me to start blogging on the platform of Medium. The invaluable advice about what to do whilst still at University has motivated me to ensure that I am doing these things and that I take as much as I can from the 1 month internship I have over summer and use this to develop my creative practice.
The final zine was printed using a laser printer as it is a publication that would be printed at a low cost with the insurance of an increased distribution. The zine is bound by a pamphlet stitch with a colour thread that matches that of the main title of the zine. The thread is a thin sewing thread which looks effective but in terms of endurance it will be doubled over to prevent snapping. The final page designs are minimal and have a lot of white space, based in the design of the Medium blog website. The white space is in replacement of adverts but it could act as a good space for those reading the guide to jot down some of their thoughts and responses to what is being said on the page. This proactive engagement just once again references the content and how it is then the act of being proactive that sets you apart from others and will ensure that you go far in the Graphic Design industry.
A revisit to this brief would potentially lead to a change in content structure and amount. It would be useful to maybe present the information in the condensed format but then also include each of the full interviews with each of the creatives at the end of the publication. The condensed versions of advice are subjective as to what is believed to be the most important and by presenting the full interviews, the audience is able to determine which pieces of advice they personally find useful.
