This is my re-done Zine cover for my group’s publication, as I thought the previous one wasn’t really relevant to our theme “human and nature” and not greeny enough. I have also put too many things in my previous zine cover. Therefore this time I tried to keep everything simple and has made it so fresher and more sticking to the nature with putting a photo of a bunch of unblossomed flower as my cover photo.
This is the temporary zine cover for my group’s publication.
These are the possible publication layouts for part B in my project, which is quite relevant to the layout possibilities for part A in my project. They both looked simple and modern. With only choosing one color tone combining black and white annotation and put one to two images in each page, applying geometric shapes in the background to highlight the color tone of the publication.
This is the group publication design I’ve made in photoshop, however I wasn’t really satisfied with the outcome of this design as it doesn’t look really “publication like”, this was the first time I’ve ever made a zine cover for publications. I hope next time I can do it better with the layout and the color tone adjustments.
At this interview experience, we have interviewed 3 people who are currently working at AUT south campus, three of us in our group took turns to interview each of them respectively. It was a fun experience where we could jump out of us comfort zone to talk to people we are not familiar with and understand more of what their identities are relatable with the community, and their purpose and reason of working/ studying at AUT. Our group has discovered few possible themes/ focus we can be developing on for our publication, and eventually we have chosen to work on “nature and environmental”, which is making our publication surrounding the green nature photos of AUT south campus.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
