Brief 2: Final Feedback

-Symbolism of flowers works well for the target audience and as metaphor. Adds positivity they need to get message across
-Make a zine as edits are very DIY
-Actually cut and stitch in zine style
-Draw, add illustration to images
-Start an Instagram and keep it going, keep adding content, ask for submissions
-Add positive wording that is a pastiche/mockery of the phrases magazines use such as 'Hot Right Now' and 'Style 'Steal' to make the account larger
-Keep making these
-Add GIFS to Insta
-Stickerbombing, spreading positivity
-New Year New Me- manifesto?
-Instead of 12 Days Of Positive christmas theme, go for the 'New Year New You' angle using magazine phrases to give inspiring positive messages opposed to those in magazines. Using the rest of the responses I got within my survey in which people sent what they didn't like about themselves.

These phrases were picked up whilst cutting magazines up for my initial collages.

These are also on publications in most high street shops.

Hot Right Now- Stretch Marks
Style Steal- comfortable in your own skin
Beauty Hack- celebrating all skin tones
Mix and Match- moles, scars, stretch marks, vitiligo, quirks
Life Hack- love your wobbly bits
The Perfect Excuse- to celebrate your hair type
Trending- boobs and bums of all sizes!


Within feedback there was a contrast of opinion on wether to make a zine or not, as this project has developed to focusing on social media platforms, and the style and particular subject/content may not be big enough for a publishable zine. Making an Instagram will suit the message better as they are shared worldwide through hashtags. To get these featured in a zine/mag would be the ideal way to get the images and message distributed.
