NEWLY FORMED ZINE
PROMPT
Find forms in the RISD Library that can be sequenced into a book. Photocopy/photograph pages from a variety of different books and magazines. Each image/spread will be connected by a match cut to the following image/spread. The forms should change and evolve as the book progresses.
You must show the surrounding page from each “match” and embrace the photocopy/ scan/photo artifacts. Do not crop to image only.

EXPLANATION
This project was part of a larger exploration of the relationship between visuals and audio. This research-based zine helped me to form connections between the two worlds. I used curiosity as a way to create a restriction for myself while creating this zine.
By utilizing the library’s vast collection of publications, I was able to gain a better understanding of how audio was portrayed visually in various time periods across different medias. I found images, diagrams, artworks and objects that I then scanned and arranged to relate from one page to the next creating an ever-evolving zine that creates a clear path between different media.
