"Zine" Topic

Our next and final project we are working on for Graphics class is a how to zine.  I have chosen to make my zine on 'how to select the right pair of shoes for an outfit'.  I've always had a fascination with shoes as I've been getting older and I thought this was a great time to explore shoes a little more!  Plus, a go to guide for someone when they are shopping for shoes could come in handy some day when they are in a dilemna between what look to go for.

For my research, I'm looking at various fashion magazines, fashion books, and how to guides.  I found a book titled, "The Girls' Book of Glamour-A Guide to Being a Goddess" which has many how to examples in it.  This book is a good reference of how to word the text in the zine that will be created.  Another book I've fallen in love with is a book on Manolo Blahnik by Colin McDowel which has a fabulous selection of various shoe images.  Other images I've found were in a "Fashion Sketchbook" book and I believe I will learn how to sketch shoes from here and render a few of my own for the zine!

The images below are from these various sources.. So enjoy them as much as I have so far!
