I'm having trouble playing this game without singing the "budgie the little helicopter" song. Whilst blowing buildings up.

Zines: a report.

I've always felt that Melbourne is a great place to find that peculiar old-school, living-in-a-garret artistic integrity, and that's always been a great draw. If nothing else, it is a great originator of those DIY projects that stand out in urban conformity, and where a lot of great artists get started. What gets me about Zines is the usually bare-bones constraints of the artistic tools used. You get the Henry Ford choices in print colour, If you want images included, get ready with the scissors, or, just as awesomely, scrawl them out with a biro. The text might have been hammered out on a typewriter, MS Notepad, or Word if they're feeling posh.

The new look

The deliberate choice of lo-fi solutions for their incidental, signature aesthetic; the reproduction of imperfection; Wabi-sabi.

Lomography,
Stark, bright colouring (cyan, magenta, lime) or colouring with a limited palette
Scratches, scuffs, cuts, spatters, rips and rot
Hand illustrated
Hand Painted
Ben day dots...

I know I'm a bit late to the table, but this is the new look I'm going to attempt. Kind of Googie meets Spaghetti Western, hopefully!
