Zine: Accompanying poster

In the same brief as our Zines we also have a few different outcomes we have to show such as 2 postcards and one A2 poster. I decided to base mine around an image I already had made and also a spread that I didn't end up using, so that it wouldn't have been a waste of time!

The name 'Mascarilla Mortuoria' means 'Death Mask'  this essentially is a glamourised advertisement for a new perfume. It's not quite finished yet, but here's what I've got so far! :)

Typography: Creating Letters In Smoke



This is another example of some older work I have done last term but its something I really enjoyed making even though it took me around 4 hours! This was a part of a project where I had to create my own Zine (small magazine), which could be based on anything I liked. My topic was a kind of "Good Housekeeping" guide for the dead housewife (so a twist on your standard preconception of this sort of magazine). 

This isn't the title of my magazine but the text created for an advert type page for a new perfume called 'Mascarilla', which I believe means 'Death Mask'. I added a Day of the Dead sugar skull into the foreground and made it look like it was spraying this text out of a trigger spray at the top of its head, so it was all very stylised and awesome (I think!) Lets hope the effort is worth the long term grade!
