5 Editorial Production & Zine Publication
TYPE: Risograph Zine
Staple-bound, edition of 5
2023
The Brief
- Shot Elle McDougald's thesis collection for her own portfolio and client use.
Studio & Technical Plan
- Photographed McDougald mid-construction (cutting, pinning, assembling), not posed finished garments.
- Set up lighting to give a blank canvas and focus in on detail and real-time construction.
- Organized and selected RAW files for book layout in Adobe InDesign; prepared final files for risograph specifications.
The Object
- 5 letter-sized, staple-bound zines printed on risograph — riso variance made every copy unique.
- Chose one spot color over two or three, so the print framed the garments instead of competing with them.
- Built the whole run from test prints and rejects, echoing the collection's own repurposing ethics.
