For the production I wanted to attempt to produce my zine onto a nice thick matte paper, and stitch bind it, to see how it worked, yet because of a misjudgment in time management I was forced to rush my self to finish it so I could get it printed which when I did get it printed I found some minor mistakes in the book. The look of the book is exactly how I wanted it to look with the rough style being shown through the black and white images but a sense of thought and structure through the grid I used yet I saw that I had not correctly numbered the contents pages as I added the posters after feeling that the contents needed a gap between the records. The mistake I made was easily fixed and I could reprint the zine, yet I felt I didnt want to do it in a high standard as I had tried in the digital print room, my research and style of zine would be better represented as a mass produced cheaper looking paper magazine, to have a strong effect of the style and design I was going for, this would enable me to reproduce it cheaply and if I chose to, sell it at a very cheap reasonable price which the working class man could afford.
I printed a couple of the zines out so that if one went wrong I had back ups and I also enjoyed the process of printing, cutting and staple binding the small zines, I can now print of a good amount of them and reproduce them to be sold or given away in music or clothes shops or even bars. The regular printers gave the zine a cheaper feel which is what I liked, they were small easily held legible zines, and what surprised me was that the images kept there sharpness and came out crisp and how I wanted them too, even though they were easily printed on a inkjet printer.
