FGCU Risograph Alumni Zine

A Funny Little Thing Happened on the Way to an Exhibition... is a virtual collaborative risograph zine between Chloe Lewis, Steven "Rusty" Coe, Anica Sturdivant and student contributors from Florida Gulf Coast University. This is a 24 page zine printed on 6 pages front and back using blue, yellow, fluorescent pink and black soy based inks. Covid-19 put a lot of things on pause including what was supposed to be a collaborative interactive alumni exhibition in Florida Gulf Coast University's Artlab Gallery, featuring Steven "Rusty" Coe and Chloe Lewis. Reasonably having an interactive exhibition during a pandemic wouldn't go well. Pivoting the idea was the only option. A zine! The idea behind the zine stemmed from the change in plans, the theme would be, adaption, reflection, and exploration.

This mock up was produced by Oddities Prints located in Kansas City, MO. This zine is currently being printed, this page will be updated with the finished booklets. The pages are presented in order, read from right to left

The first sketch assortment of the compositions of the spreads.

These are sketches for the layout of the zine. The booklet was created by juggled back and forth from Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop to work with different aspects of graphics, text, and images that were part of each spread. Combining all the elements into an Adobe Photoshop file.

Great video by Pindot Press on YouTube was super helpful for formatting files for print in Photoshop, watch the video here.

Stay tuned for more updates on the project!
