Context This brief is to serve as a long running brief throughout the year releasing monthly/bi-monthly publications; these publications may be very varied ranging from photography, literature, lifestyle & culture. The aim is for it to serve as a platform for outputting self initiated work, whatever that may be. The primary focus will be on conceptual zines, and high quality arts and lifestyle. It will also be used to output a series of publications that are linked, and will also be used as the publishing name for the publication that I am collaborating with Abbas on. This brief is also a chance to work with different print methods and build up relationships with stockists and learn about distributing work to print and to a sales avenue.
