The Zine Fair!

So the Zine Fair was upon us, and we were ready. We arrived at the venue to see many students were ready and set up, so we joined them in getting everything out and ready to sell. We were sharing a table with other art history students and it was interesting to see the difference in what we had all made! Once the table was set out we all got to have a look around at everyone else's zines. I was really impressed by the quality of what everyone had created as well as there being an amazing range of different zines to choose from. I feel that everyone's presentation was fantastic and it was impressive to see everyone together as a group again to get selling!

To be honest I didn't expect as many people to come to fair as what did, the turn out was really good and really did get quite busy. For just being a student fair I believe that it really was a success. We sold around six of our zines and several of our postcards too so its always nice to see that people liked our zine!




So overall I believe the fair was a success, I enjoyed my time there and loved seeing what everyone else had done. I believe from the whole process I have learnt to work in a group more successfully as I usually dread the prospect of group work, however I feel like I have played an important role in the whole process and that we have worked well together. I believe it has been really useful throughout the progress meetings to get opinions from others outside your own group, there is a real sense of collaboration between everyone and everybody is really helpful to one another.

I have enjoyed the experience of being able to see something be created which started only from an idea, it has been a great experience to see this in action, I do believe that I now have a greater interest in zines, and I admire anyone who goes through the complete stress of creating them!
