After finding inspirations in the NoZines I began to look at shifting the page layout and information around. Immediatly I noticed that there looked to be a lot less text on the page and it looked a lot neater and easier to read.
I played around with the blue title and how the positioning of it affected the type layout. I found that in the very centre worked best but with a line underneath in to break up the heavy type.
Font Decisions
Originally I was working with Baskerville and Gill Sans but once the layout began to change I changed Gill Sans for Ostrich Black. Above you can see the difference; the thicker but longer back type works well with the whole image of the zine layout.
Page Layouts
I decided to work with the two column per page grid and work around that. I found that by working with one colour it added enough interest and options to play around with text colouring and layout design. The two columns made it a lot easier to get the message across without it looking over crowded like it did in the original title down the side piece.
