ZINE BREIF UPDATE

Basically I have gone down the route of this being very personal to me so this project is a homage to Wolverhampton. As a yam yam, and people say I’m proud to come from this city, and I am but also I find myself hating this place quite alot but yet finding it a very interesting place to be able to be a part of. I also notice going to see a comedian and how he asked do you like your hometown of ‘Wolverhampton’ and all the crowd said NO in a monotone voice.

It was voted not long back the 5th worst city in the world which I sway to agree at times but then I really cant see that being possible. I would like to show how I feel its an interesting place for me to be in as it inspires me as a designer through the architecture to the dialect. Wolverhampton has a certain style in buildings such as concrete or industrial and also Georgian too. It’s a very 90s kind of city. For such a such a dull place there is a lot of diverse of people in the city from race to teenage sub-cultures but everybody says what a dull, boring and thick accent we have as well.
I don’t really want to focus on the people as visually but the way we talk.

Overall I don’t know if I hate this place or I love it. I think I want to capture the city and go for a visually interesting piece of work representing that this is my home town and how it inspires me as a designer in my work and let people judge Wolverhampton as a city themselves.

I'm also thinking calling my zine called 'fold' due to the numbers of streets that are called fold and the historical dates when it was famous for a woollen trade. Thought this could be interesting to look at maybe binding my zine with wool or try and include wool in this project.
