Final Project- Sticker Book Final pages+Stickers

Here are the final pages for the album with the number boxes attached.

Here are the stickers I've made, they reflect the pages that they are placed in.

Underneath are the sticker backs, with numbers

 My favorites include the 3 part spiderman/carnage/venom, the magneto head, juggernaut, Iron Man, and Spiderman 300. If I was a kid, I would make my parents buy me these.

Final Project- Sticker Book

For my final project, I decided to make a sticker book based upon things I like. It all came about because I recently bought a Spiderman 'WEBS' sticker album from 1992, that was unused from America. I bought it as it contains artwork from Todd Mcfarlane. 

Front and back of the album.

It really is that simple! Here are the finished pages

These pictures were immensely fun to draw, I really enjoyed it, it's always so much easier when your passionate about the subject.

The Zine

I've made a Zine, and it's about J.F.K. I took six photos in harrow, of places that looked similar to the actual scenes of Dealey Plaza, Texas, where he died. As the background was done, it was just a case of filling in key players like Jackie. K, Lee Harvey. O, and the Ford Lincoln. But let's delve into why I did this, and how it came to be.

Why-I've always been fascinated with the murder of J.F.K, it happened on the same day of my birthday. I've always found the imagery extremely compelling, it's just great for using in work for getting that strong quality across, their good strong images, It's something I come back to again, and again. We're joined forever, in an endless struggle, just like Captain America, and the Red Skull

.

 Here are the pictures that I captured for the zine, the Dealey was always there.

 

 

 

 

  

 

This one looks  really like the Book Dispository.

 

Now that I had the images, I had to start bringing it all together, my zine would tell a short story of some key events on the day, but I also wanted it to be visually striking, I looked at the work of Robert Rauschenberg, and Dieter Roth for inspiration, their work was extremely inspiring as it seemed so untouchable, extremely timeless, work created 50 years ago, that looks as fresh today as it did back then.

 

Rauschenberg, A big inspiration for me was his inclusion of american culture, such as Baseball, mixed with iconic imagery, like the eagle.

 

This work just looks very powerful, exactly the thing I wanted.

 

Another great inspiration was Atlas by jake Tilson, I was lucky enough that the library has the first four copies of the zine, so i could see one in my hands, It was etremely exhilirating, and fascinating, it seemed out of the future, it changed the way I thought how the zine could be. The production values were so high, printed on glossy paper. It had lots of free bits to cut out, and collect, in one copy, there was a whole sheet of specially printed Atlas stamps.

So I went away with all this inspiration, and just sat down, and made the zine.

 These are just images stuck onto accetate.

I was very happy with the finished pages, as they have an edgy look that I want, but also have some really powerful imagery too, I feel it looks very expressive, and playful, it was nice to just sit down, and experiment alot with collage, something I havn't done in a while.
