Zine Research:

What is a Zine?

A zine is a self-published, non-commercial print-work and this is typically produced in small, limited batches.

Zines are created and bound in many DIY ways, but this is traditionally editions are a easy reproduced that is often by crafting an original "master flat," and then there is photocopying folding, and staping the page into a simple pamphlets.

The main rule is that, there are no rules for it.

Most people who create zines are likely to be more motivated by self-expression and on artistic and they are sometimes distributed for free or you can trade it for another zine.

These are first created in the science fiction fandom of the 1930s and taking their name from fanzine, which is a short for "fan Magazine."

Before the advent of the internet, zines were to allow fans to create networks, share ideas and analyses, and collaborate on writing and artwork.

Counterculture movement is associated with the beat generation of the 1950s and 1560s saw a growth of the underground press, this play's a important role in connecting to the people across the US.

The underground press is often involved an significantly more people and resource in the production of materials. This is provided in function that has became a key part of zine culture in the 1980s and beyond.

Given people a voice outside the scope of the mainstream media.

The art and literary magazines of 1960s and 1970s were based in a similar need of the circumvent the art world. These were printed cheaply and spread through small, niche networks.

Definition and Become:

Zines has became more of a mainstream in February 2016 , even Kanye West has one.

The tweet included a picture of the publication Kanye had made to accompany his second line of footwear for his brand, Yeezy.

After the decades of existence, zines are no longer strictly counter-cultures, but these originated as a small-scale DIY efforts.

Most of the definition of zines includes the fact that they are small-circulation, self-published, and they are often inexpensive or free.

The most important aspect of a zine is a generally that is publication identifies as one.

Zine are more guidelines than hard and fast rules.

Some Zine-makers will always say, that zines are as much about the community as the products and these are identify as a zine is what separate these publication from comics, literary journals, website, but other type of independent publication.

First Zine:

One of the pieces that were published in fantasy commentator this became Sam Moskowitz's book on the history of Sci-fi fandom, this is called The Immortal Storm.

The first zine was traced back to a 1930s effort, this was by the science correspondence club in Chicago.

This was called The Comet, and this started a long-lasting trend of sci-fi related zines.

The important sci-fi zines fantasy commentator this began in 1943, and then ran in a various repetition of a process this was until 2004.

The state of being connected with each of the zines and sci-fi is reflected in the world science fiction convention Hugo award for best Fanzine, the still is an award today.

Relationship between zine and sci-fi:

The relationship that are between zines and sci-fi became deep after 1997, this was when the first StarTrek fanzine.

Technology:

Technology action of the 70s made the zines a little easier to be able to create than ever.

The particular rise of copy shops, this allowed zine-makers to produce all their work cheaply and quickly.

Some zine had been produced by using mimeographs which push link through a thin sheet of card and other to make multiple prints, but the process was impractical for large scale production.

California Photography: Seascapes

The coastal photography has recently been one of Michael main focuses for a long time.

Michael grows up by the sea in San Diego, the ocean has always been a place for him to relax and clear his mind.

Taken a seascape image has allowed him to do two of his favourite thing, and that is spend the day at the beach and shoot photography

The image on the left side, is my favourite out of the two, because of the vibrant of the pink and the reflection in the sea.

I like how has capture the image, in the centre of the camera.

I also like how; he has captured the motions of the water moving.

I think this image suite portrait, more than it would landscape as the rock is in centre of the camera and with the rock in front of the camera at the bottom.

I like how dark and moody this image look, as the rocks are dark and make this image look dramatic.

The straight bright light drags you across the image from left to right and make you look right at the rock in the middle.

This image is amazing and totally different from the one above, as it makes you think were does lead you too.

The colours in this image a different it a warm golden orange colour.

The reflection on the rock and the weave is amazing as it totally different to something I have seen before, as it stands out to me a lot.

The detail he has capture in the cloud and the water is amazing.

I like how the water lead you into the middle of the ocean and make you think were does it led you too

The image from this series of photo are all amazing but the two I picked from them stood out to me the most, as of the colour and composition within the images.

Hawaii Lava Photography:

This collection is of Hawaii photography is focused on the immense power of lave at the Volcanos National Park on a big Island of Hawaii.

The one of most truly mystical scenes, that he has ever had the pleasure of capturing.

For this collection, he wanted to showcase a beauty of his own artistic way, through fine art landscape photography.

To keep these scenes natural and true, he witnessed this on his journey.

All these images are single exposures unless it been listed otherwise in the caption below in the photo on his website.

Image one

This image from the series of image, I look at is one of the best on out of them all because of the way he been able to capture the two rainbows in the background.

I love how he has captured this image, as the rocks on the right side, leads you into the image.

The detail in the image is amazing, as you can see bit of the detail in the clouds, sea, and rocks.

The colour of the sea contrast against the rocks, as you can see the deep blue colour of the sea.

The sky give this image bit of a moody attuites, as there a volcano going over and the sky give it a dramatic mood.

Image two

This image I find interesting as you don’t know what happen in the image, even though the title tells you.

The detail in this image I love, as you able to see a lot of detail in the smoke and you can even see little rock going everywhere.

For this image, I think he has used a fast shutter speed so that he can capture the rocks at the front.

The sky in the images give the full image a dramatic mood and the red bit of lighting give it the same.

Creative Carbon Research

Preventing, Reducing and Recycling Waste:

Policy Background:

Scottish Government has set a 2025 target to reduce waste arising by 15% against 2011 levels and recycle 70% of the remaining waste, which no more than 5% of the remaining waste that is going to landfill.

The food waste should be cutting down by 33% with all 'food business' this generates more than 5kg being required to recycle their food waste.

The Target form part of the Scottish governments aim is to move towards a 'circular economy' this is where the products and materials are kept in use for as long as possible, as opposed to a 'liner economy' and this dependant on the increase exploitation of natural resources.

The circular economy has a clear environmental benefit as well as potential community, resilience, and economic co-benefits.

The support for these regulations is primarily handled by the government's resource which their delivery partners, Zero Waste Scotland and there is more detail on the Scottish government.

The individuals and organisations are responsible for handling their own waste correctly to contribute to these targets.

The quantities and qualities of the waste that is produces by the arts and culture sector are highly varied, that the large theatre may strike a set with industrial building materials.

The art office may produce, a large amount of paper and packaging waste and individual maker may have raw material offcuts of no immediate use.

The Waste Hierarchy:

Prevent (reduce) : the unnecessary use of the resource in the first place.

Reuse: the items or allow someone else to reuse them.

Recycle: resources into new items.

Recover: some of the values from resource through other means.

Dispose: of the resource, often to the landfill, the last resort.

For my creative carbon, I wasn't able to go and take any picture for a community group, so I went round my home town and took image of all the rubbish and stuff that young once where using for fires instead of just put it in the bin. I then decide to research about recycling and reducing the waste around the place.
