I have started working on a selection of info graphics addressing quite comical aspects of being ginger - the nicknames according to what shade your hair is, your temperament and personality traits as judged by other people. I think its amusing to look at the assumptions that are made over just one element of a person's appearance.

More zine experimentation
I have started working with the photos i took, bleaching them by photocopying them at high contrast and illustrating over them and using hand rendered typography. I plan to use red and orange as accent colours which hints at the subject of the zine, but the inverted black and white images widens the subject matter and allows me to address the wider themes of discrimination and stereotypes.

ZINE experimentation
Although my zine will be looking at the trivial subject of ginger hair and the comical stereotypes that exist about it, i also want to look at the wider theme of identity - how people are judged on appearance and how people hide insecurities behind exterior qualities.
