Hanbury | Self-Promotion

Although the focus of the Hanbury event is on professional talks and networking, I still wanted to put together a piece of work that could be handed out to those attending.

Since publications and zines are a large part of what I do, I decided to reprint one of my own publications as an artefact to give away. Although I think business cards are important, I thought that a larger, more substantial object would seem a little more interesting.

I chose this particular zine because I think it shows the naive, experimental aesthetic of my work as well as the values that are important to me.

The yellow slip of paper has my name and some contact details, I thought this would add a business card-like function to the publication, and it also contrasts against the booklet itself nicely. One worry of the size was that people might have found it impractical to carry around, as opposed to a small card.

But on the other hand, it makes it stand out in some ways.

I also produced a small book of samples to show that I can approach image making in different ways, using a mixture of processes and mediums.
