Zine / GINGE

For our zine brief i am going to look at the good and bad stereotypes of & attitudes towards people with red hair. I think I'm going to call it GINGE. This is my moodboard looking at how red hair was regarded through art history and then more recent negative stereotypes. I want to look at the myth that people with ginger hair will become extinct and play on wildlife book illustration of extinct species and odd photos. I plan to use a mix of collage and illustration with handdrawn typography that expresses my feelings about being a redhead. I have also looked at the work of Ellen Gallagher and i love the way she appropriates images of her subject and makes them into surreal paper sculptures and plays with their identity and appearance.
