Zine development - crazy cat fashion girls

To kickstart the new idea for my zine, I did a few roughs of people whose clothing or accessories could be adapted into cats. 

I also made a quick plan for the order of my pages - I realised that most of the images were based around women and I was struggling to think of ideas for men. This made me want to adapt my idea so it was just about females as I think this would be the main audience for a zine like this. 

To get started with making imagery, I photocopied some of the drawings I was already happy with from the fashion sketchbook a couple of times and started drawing over them to see how they could be adapted. 

I’m not being lazy by using drawings I already have, I just want to work in the most efficient way because I have a lot of other work to be getting on with as well. I don’t see the point in trying to redraw these images when I already have a few that I am really pleased with and they have already been drawn at the correct scale. Obviously I will need to draw a few more though from scratch.

This exercise was a really quick way of getting my ideas down and it has given me some inspiration for new drawings as well.

This is a revised storyboard just based on females. I felt like the zine was very repetitive by just having faces and figures all the way through so I want to have at least two pages where this trend is broken. One of which I have decided will be of some polaroids of men who are supposedly attractive because they have cats incorporated into their image as well. I might have to think of some visual symbol to include here to make it clear that these are being seen as potential ‘love interests’. 

I am feeling a lot better about my zine now I can see how much I need to do. It is looking more like a manageable task and I just need to get on with it. 

At the moment I don't think this zine needs a title because I think the image of the cat on the front and back will catch the attention of anyone interested in cats and will give enough information about the overall theme of the zine without including any type.
