Eureka Moment: Agatha Christie Outcomes

  



Centerfold - pages 6 and 7


Double page spread



The finished booklet:

Here are a few examples from my final finished zine:

Last page acetate in comparison to the card cover 

Centrefold - very dark with all of the acetate stacked up!

Isolating the pages (very hard to do as there's little weight to them) looking through the acetate with the scanner light.

These are truly weird and experimental, nothing at all that you would relate to Christie's classic aesthetics, and I like that the audience is invited to participate in solving the mystery of what shapes and motifs are on the page. Is it a poison bottle? A train ticket? Skulls? Without light or a piece of white paper between the acetate pages it is hard to see what some of the motifs are and that can be both positive and negative to my original proposal and ideas. 

Pushing this into a new direction, being inquisitive and playful, and letting go of the perfection I used to seek have been really beneficial to me for this module and a strong learning curve. Illustration is fun again when I'm doing weird and wonderful things!
