Over dinner, members decided on a theme for the zine, which turned out to be Fantasy and Sexuality.
Source material.
Using materials that some members brought, in addition to stuff from around the house (a jar of vintage matchbooks), and a stack of vintage sports and soft-core magazines, we each created many pages for a zine. Each of us worked within the dimensions of half of a standard sheet of letter sized paper.
Completed pages laid out on kitchen
floor for determining order.
We chose as a group which ones we liked, attempting an even distribution of works per member. Then we laid them out and called off-site member Harrison to determine an arbitrary order for the zine by asking him to name a random series of numbers.
We all used all 3 of the following techniques: drawing, collage, text. Furthermore, we often used two or all three approaches within one page.
Examples, after photo-copying:
Text
Collage
Text/collage/drawing
Drawing (back cover)
The next day members who were available to do so went to Staples and ran off copies, then reassembled at Milton's to collate and staple pages.
Contact us if you'd like a copy of the first official B(A)NO[S] zine, titled Mushrooms and Clams.
