To start, I analyzed and attempted to mimic the styles of period magazines such as Harper's, Newsweek, and Ebony. I did find some collaged pieces in my research, so I utilized it to both stay within the time period constraints while also using modern tiny homes in the zine. Tiny homes are a risk, so placing them in the context of a romanticized period, like the 50s and 60s midcentury style, brings back comfortable ideas of simplicity and a focus on the family and home to the audience. I also changed all the photos to black and white and then manually recolored them myself for added aesthetic appeal, and an attempt at blending.
