OUGD602 - NEST LGBT Zine Design

Over the open submission period NEST received approximately 25 submissions, however this low number was to be expected as the zine would not be the full length of regular issues and the turn-around for submissions was shorter. The work was selected with the help of peers, staff and the Union to ensure an accurate cross-section of the LGBT community within the university was represented.

The zine was printed with Footprint Workers Co-Op, a Leeds-based risograph press. Spreads were organised into colour layers for printing, as specified by Footprint, and then sent to print in black and white as four individual files.

Creating this zine with NEST provided further opportunities to enhance my design for publications skills outside of the course. It also provided me with the opportunity to work with Footprint, which is a useful connection to make in regards to my other Risograph projects.
