~ Product Range Distribution - fanzines ~

An example of design for a cause and social change is the creation of fanzines by punks in the 70's.


The zines allowed the movement to share their music, opinions, fashion etc. The subculture was a tightly knit community that all shared similar views specifically politically and in terms of police power. 

The zines were mostly produced handwritten with cut out images and drawings; they were then mass produced using a photocopier as the most cost effective way of mass producing a publication. 

The cost effectiveness of my campaign will need to be considered in a similar way, charities can provide money for producing material but alone I am very limited by budget. One way I can produce cheap yet effective printed material would be to screen print my final outcomes; screen printing is far cheaper than digital and would portray and hand produced and personal feel to the work (which is appropriate due to the sensitive nature of the topic).
