Abstract Form As Image combined zine culture with the idea of truisms.  A zine is a small magazine that contain whatever you want it to and can be designed in your own liking because there are no rules or limitations when it comes to zine making.  Having previous experience creating fun zines for myself and for friends,  I was excited to take on this module. I wanted the design of my zine to be simple, consistent, and have a hand made feel.  I achieved this by having both my images and text placed in the same area on each page in way where they interacted with each other to create a cohesive yet interesting feel.  I enjoyed the process of writing a truism that related to a life experience of mine and then visually depicting that through sketches and hand lettering.  The zine was designed to be printed on a Risograph, so I designed it with the intention of being printed using two colors, bright blue and pink, and then a third color, green, for the poster on the back when you unfold the entire zine. I think this module really portrays my artistic style and has helped me along the journey of establishing and developing  an individual style.
