How did i get my work out there?
- 1. GETTING MY WORK OUT THERE
- 2. PRINTING MY FANZINE • At first, I was unsure on how I could make my project so I could show it to other people. I knew I needed to get it printed but I couldn't decide which online printing website to use, I decided to email around to see what the best deals were. I emailed Quacks and Focus4Print companies to see what there prices were going to be. Quacks responded with a price of £40 + vat for 5 copies. Focus4Print never responded. • I then went online to see what online companies could do, I looked at Mixam.com which I researched before in my problem solving. I chose Mixam as it was the cheaper option for more copies. Overall it cost £30.50 for 8 copies including printing. It was quick difficult to correct the bleed as it needed to be 3mm along the pages. This was quite confusing to do, but once I got my head around it, it was easy.

- 7. EVENTS/ SOCIAL MEDIA/ WEBSITES • I decided to look at fanzine events near me, there is a York fanzine event in August. This is something that I am interesting in as I think it would be a good way to get my way out there as well as looking at other peoples fanzines. Nearer the time I will be able to sign up, so I will see if I am free this day. I also created a Instagram for my fanzine, I started off by following different feminist accounts and waited for them to follow me back. I decided that I would create a logo for my fanzine as most of the feminists had their own logos. This took a while but after I created it I was very happy with the finished product. I added some photos from this fanzine as well as an image from my last fanzine that I created. I think most of my target audience would be attracted to my fanzine on Instagram instead of other social media platforms. I decided to add my fanzine onto issuu as this was another way on how I could attract my target audience, the setting up of issuu was a little bit confusing but once I had realised what I needed to do it was much easier. I am excited to see where I can get my fanzine about and see how popular it could be.
