Zines
For my project, I am choosing the topic of H.P. Lovecraft. As I have stated before in my previous posts like with my logo I am very interested in H.P. Lovecraft, his works, and the mythos and creatures that exist within his stories. My logo was inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and Cthulhu so I thought I might as well make it the topic of my Zine.
I have a decent idea of how I am going to do each part of the zine. For the title page I will put H. P. Lovecraft at the top and I will include an image of Cthulhu, one of his most well-known creations. In the introduction I will go other the author himself and some of his works. The infographic might be a bestiary that shows images and names of monsters from his books. The corpus analysis will have a chunk of his writing from one of his stories he wrote. This should not be a problem as all of his works are public domain now. For the picture story, I thought I could have images of a convention for H. P. Lovecraft. As for the podcast and video, I am still thinking. Maybe for the podcast, I will review one of his stories and give feedback on it.
During this week while working on the structure of this project I hope to increase my skills and confidence in Adobe InDesign. I used InDesign to make my personal logo and now I will be using it some for my zine.

For my infographic, I was going to go through with my previous idea of having a bestiary with monsters from the stories of H. P. Lovecraft but there are far too many to include so maybe I will just choose one to focus on or maybe I will choose a different idea for my infographic. I started using and messing around with canva. I just looked at some other templates and backgrounds and brainstormed for a bit about what it would look like. During this Friday and weekend, I hope to produce something that looks good and ties in well with my topic.
