First try at it

Notes + Feedback

This is my first try at developing my GIF, I ended up choosing the third idea. This third idea consists of me creating a hand made piece of print about how print isn't dead (my point in the essay), showing the loading scanner sign, and then the fully scanned image.

In my first try, I ended up not adding the fully scanned image in the end because I wanted to firstly try and see if it worked, and secondly try to incorporate this waiting but never show up feeling.

Friend Feedback:

While talking to my friend (she is also on this course and doing this task) I asked her for some feedback on this first try and if she had any ideas for me to develop it.

  • likes it
  • should add the actual scan in the end
  • a little too dull
  • scan could be a page of a zine I hand make about how print isn't dead
  • add some irony to the page

Some phrases I thought about adding:

  • Print isn't dead, You are
  • What are you looking at I'm just paper
  • If print is dead so am I

 

 

 

 

The GIF Concept

  •  showcases the 'print is dead' argument;
  • while also showing, how I discussed in the essay, that zine designers are now using the digital world as a 'tool' instead of a threat to their work; through the scanning part

Development Notes

 Especially in a time like this where I have no access to a print studio or specific materials I had the idea of creating a couple of raw, handmade statement zines in 15 min, all made with reutilized prints I had lying around the house. The zines are about the 'print is dead' argument I discussed in the text.
