Another possible product I have considered as part of the Dicaprio merchandise is zines.
As I focus quite a bit on internet culture, it is quite throwaway, my humour and context is quite fast paced, fast turn around of subjects and zines are a good way of creating a product that will only last so long, that isn't high quality and the focus is more on the context and idea rather than the visual quality of the illustration.
PROBLEM
The only problem I face is over doing my illustrations on something so throwaway. I have battled with this in the past with greetings cards, sometimes I focus too much on making something realistic, and it loses it's humour.
RESEARCH
How detailed do zines have to be?
I had a look on pinterest at some zines to get a better idea of how detailed zines have to be or how simple the lifework can be when trying to create some fast paced but still successful zines that may only contain 5 illustrations of the key scenes of films that have a little twist on them.
I quite liked this interactive zine based on the film Fight club, the illustrations are simple it's more based around the quotes
I equally like the look of this zine that is just based around the linework but has some interesting compositions
This one is making me think about how I can free up my lines and play around with my text and typography so that my images don't look so realistic and is more focused on my own interpretation of character
