The development and design experimentation was informed by the research undertaken into zine and book design, the form to begin with was inspired by punk zines, having it small and with thin paper so that it could be cheaply produced in the rough styles these zines were formed in. Though with the publication being image based it became clear to use a thin gloss paper. Using a highly professional clean looking paper would not have been relevant to the style of the concept or the contents of the publication. Having looked at cheap papers which would have been available to the zine producers I found a 100 GSM recycled paper which had a slight rough grain to it which is influenced by the posters them self which many of use this type of paper. It was clear to use this style to give it a rough edge yet with the gloss to the paper the images would print clearly onto it.
