Zine Front Cover Design

Initially, I wanted to highlight the tangibility of analogue by showing the dried flowers clearly however I don't want colour as I don't want it to take away from the comparative nature of the project. Having a mostly monochromatic zine would establish coherent theme and it's common of zines as this is being homemade and colour prints may not work as well or look as professional.
Continuing to establish theme but appears to cater to a much younger audience and isnt conveying the purpose of the book/too busy
Clash between photographic/very image versus the textures of the lino aren't visually pleasing as there isn't coherance
Simplified - chose this as direct relation to analogue processes and chose Bodoni 72 as friendly serif font that is organic and references the floral theme due to its emphasis on contrasting the strokes - the thick and thin weights - and strong vertical stress suggesting growing upwards like flowers.
