This is the final cover:
For the "Escape Is Not An Option" I have used Brickley Script, size 30 and I have put a line through the centre of it- small and crossed out to show that the name has being changed. I also choose this font because I wanted the cover to look hand made, more personal since it's a fanzine and not a professional magazine. I choose to have no images on the front; just the band logo because I didn't want to have much on the cover after all, I wanted a simple kind of jornal style to the zine- and I wanted to save all my images for the inside. For the main big title I have used Trajan Pro, size 50 and in bold, underlined- to show that this is now the new name and also the subject of the zine. The word "fanzine" is in the same Brickley Script font- it's just bigger at size 50 because I wanted this information to be seen more than the name change considering I was going to be keeping the same jornal kind of hand made style throughout the zine.
This is the final double page spread:
The name of the band on this is in the Algerian font, size 60, next to the other part of the title which is Trajan Pro again, size 25 and underlinded- it's also red(a red which I chose by clicking on colour, choosing the RGB palette and changing the red number to 162- I've used this red through the pages to add another colours into my theme of black and white because I thought it was abit plane and it brakes it up better. The rest of the writing on the page is Bodoni MT font- The quotes are in this font too but there in bold and red. The main image on the page- I edited so that the edges of it fade away/dissovle into the white of the page(image shown below) I've kept the same border running throughout the pages of the zine because I like how it works with my black and white theme and adds something extra to the white pages. Unfortunatly I'll have to print this again because it cuts off the picture in the middle.
To print the double page spread properly I had to crop the centre page image into two halfs and place each half on each page a good centimetre apart and then print each page again, and gilotine the white edges off- so that the picture was able to be perfectly matched up next to it's other half.
Final Report/Interview pages:
The title on this page is in the Viner Hand ITC, szie 36 and underlined. I wanted to keep the jornal/hand-made look going through the zine so I chose a hand writen style of font. Again the other writing on the page is in Bodoni MT font, at size 13, just the quesions are underlined and in bold.

Evaluation:
Over all I think the zine & video zine project went quite well in the end: although it's not perfect and not I'm entirely happy with the outcome of the paper zine as I feel I need to work on it still/add more pages to it. I wasn't really sure how to use Indesign or how to design a layout properly; this was my first ever time using Indesign and doing graphic design so I was abit like a fish out of water so I kind of just went with that I thought looked good and what I wanted it to be like, and I got the look I was going for. As for the video zine 's out come, I was rather happy with it: I messed up by putting the same clip in twice though which I will fix when I'm next in college but other than that and the fact I was panicking about getting it finished on time- I'm happy with the video: it did what I wanted it to do: had both serious and silly elements in it and it's full of information and doesn't get boring- it captures the bands feel well too which I'm glad it did. What I think went well about this project is the amount of research and looking at designs etc that I did, I think that it really helped me choose how my zine looks and how my video is. What was difficult about this project was using two new programmes I'd never used before and have to create two pieces of work I could be happy with in the space of time I had, I also found it hard filming as sometimes getting the right things you needed on film just didn't happened and other times it did.
