module 1 - fashion evolution

Notes on my zine layout

• The layout of my zine will be like two separate books.
• The zine will be spilt down the middle my a piece of red transparent plastic paper with the same pattern on as the front cover ‘the rise of fast fashion’ printed over and over again to fill up the whole page. 
• The first half of my zine will be historical context looking back at how fast fashion came about, where it all started and how many big fashion business preyed on the migrants coming in to countries like America to use them as cheap labour in sweatshops. I will mention the triangle shirtwaist factory of the 1900’s and how that sparked the development of a series of laws and regulations that protected the safety of the workers.
• The first half will be full of big, dramatic, bold text that will catch the readers eye and it will consist of lots of facts in big font so it will be more impactful. 
• My whole zine is going to be in black and white except for the bright pop of colour I will sewing over the top of some images and large text. 
• I will be mainly using my own photographs 
• The second half of my zine will consist on the same lines except this will be looking through contemporary context of fast fashion and the negative side of how it really hasn’t improved that much even though many people and articles try to insist onto us as the general public that the game is 'massively changing'. 
• I want this article to give a more negative approach on the way we are treating the fashion industry's poor treatment of the planet and how we really are not trying hard enough or doing enough about it. I don’t want readers coming away thinking "wow what an amazing job were doing at this sustainability thing".
•  More than 200 million children today are child labourers. An estimated 120 million are engaged in hazardous work. 73 million of these children are below 10 years old.
