Process
Once the final images were drawn up it was merely a case of editing the levels and creating each pages' composition and text boxes. I had seen that a lot of the raver zines used quite crude graphic design with a lot of type in boxes or in different fonts // sizes.

I thought it best to write up a little introduction at the start of my zine to give it some context to those about to read it with no previous knowledge of the rave culture. This also fit into the aesthetics I was replicating in the way of text and composition.
When writing out the first person text for each page, I made sure to continually look back on my previous images and how I'd captured rave there, and the articles I'd read in relation to the ravers themselves. It was important to me that my zine showcased both the playful and fun loving side of rave as much as the more serious and prominent features of the movement. The idea of community, spirituality and hedonism were vital things to communicate through this publication.
Once the images were completed they were laid out on indesign ready to print.
