OKAY, This is me yapping about another piece of feedback!
I AM SO SURPRISED THE FLORAL ZINE IDEA GOT SHOT DOWN. LIKE I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE THE WINNER AS IT COULD BE A WORK DELIVERABLE?? BUT HEY MAN, WHATEVER WORKS.
The other thing that surprised me was that my photos of Paris were kinda/almost too polished and thought out for a zine, and were more suited of a photo album. Which, AGAIN I GET IT, but also like ... can I take that as a compliment?? Kinda the first time I'd ever been told I had stuff that was way too nice for my og plan, so it made me laugh internally during that moment in a good way.
The other thing I really wanted to kind of mouth vomit about was the bigger theme. I toooooooooootally get that I didn't have a strong theme when it comes to connecting it back to other things. If anything, I think that I focused more on the meaning for myself and others, which I don' t necessarily think is a bad thing. But it still needs to be able to connect to people, and I lowkey thing that's where I struggle with. Like, how are you meant to make it feel relatable when it's just like HEY BESTIE I WENT TO PARIS.
I do think there is a way. Framing it as a beginning, to middle, to the end of a trip. Talk about the emotions and narrative of the trip, "HEY IF I CAN DO THIS SO CAN YOU"
Theme Ideas (I'm spitballing):
- "Take that Chance While You Can, Having the Courage to Go Travel"
- Exploration of Culture, "Here's a place we saw, here's what it was about, here's how WE experienced it"
- TRAVEL MEMOIRS?? Which lowkey might be what my original idea was in the realm of ... ?
- Journaling, Documentation, Recording a Part of Your Life to look back on
