Workshop:
In the workshop that Rose put on we had to create a zine within a couple of hours. The zine was based on the alphabet and words related to the creative industries. We each had a letter that we had to produce a design for.
In groups we came up with the A - Z of related words:
I worked on the letter 'O' and had the word 'Open-minded':
The task was quite challenging as we had limited resources available, but the finished outcome is really interesting and engaging to see how people have interpreted their word. It was also quite nice to work on a project collaboratively, working together as a team. Having a finished outcome at the end of the day that we could all take home was also nice as it showed that if you work quickly you can achieve good outcomes. Working in this DIY style also allowed you to be as experimental as you want without any restrictions or reservations of what is right or wrong.
