Charity shop zine done!

First draft and practise for the charity shop zine.

All information from the official website of The British Heart Foundation

Although the two pages in the bottom right corner i feel need some adjusting as i dont think they really fit in with the rest of the zine, this may just be because the rest are of the model but i may just have to try out a different layout.

Thank goodness for charity shop books

Yes, the summer holidays are well and truly underway and the kids are off, I’m sure I’m not the only mum thinking what on earth am I going to do to keep the little loves busy?

Our town is great for activities for kids, the library reading challenge is always a favourite, we often spend a day in town having a wander round the charity shops maybe a quick trip to Weightwatchers (depending on how much wine I’ve had to drink at the weekend) and then head to the library to borrow some books and take part in the reading challenge.

I love borrowing books, the library has a great range and there is something really nice about being part of a library. I do like to own books too, we have a great big bookcase full of favourites, mine are Patricia Cornwell and Gray’s are football autobiographies – never to be read again.Our two kids do like reading and this summer my son has really got into The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and loves a bit of Roald Dahl.  We went for a mooch around the charity shops to find some books to keep him occupied and low and behold in The British Heart Foundation there was loads to chose from all for £1.35 each,I was delighted! I also go some nice books for Amber to take on holiday so a total of 9 books for £17!

I often buy my holiday books from charity shops and the British Heart Foundation is perfect for this. They have such a great range of chick lit to keep me entertained for those long quiet days whilst the kids play nicely together and the sun shines (who am I kidding!).

So if you see me in town carrying a massive, heavy shopping bag you’ll know what I’ve been buying.

After researching the 'Mad Decent's Lookbook Zine in my previous post. Before creating the zine i made a quick poster advertising this specific day they're having an event on the 9th June and thought immediately that it went well with what i was doing, so i decided to create a poster out of it.

I then went onto having a go at making my own for 'British Heart Foundation except mine was more of a zine advertisement for BHF. The main text that will be at the front of the zine reads "We're wearing red to clobber heart disease", i found this on their own website and jumped at using it as it worked well with one specific outfit i bought from 'British Heart Foundation' itself.

I have now gone onto editing more of my 'Lift shoot' images and am slowly beginning to add them into this zine, will hopefully add a bit of text either about what i'm doing within my project or about the charity. I also hope to ask a BHF shop if i would be able to put my poster up in their shop, as well as any more than i can make if possible.
