CONTRIBUTORS
Daniela Majic-PHOTOGRAPHER WHAT YOU DID FOR THIS ISSUE? The editorial I shot for Zone Magazine is called The Small Butterfly. The idea was to create a vintage fashion shoot but include elements in the images such as the butterfly crown, flowers, and beautiful backdrops to add a fantasy or other worldly element to the editorial. The shoot was done at a beautiful near by park, which was a great setting for a fantasy/ fashion shoot. The butterfly crown was hand crafted by me. With all my images, this editorial included, I hope to bring the viewers into a dream world. I enjoy fairytales and fantasies, and hope that that is what others see when they look at my work. I also have always loved fashion, and thoroughly enjoy the mixture of fantasy and fashion. I really aim for that look. YOUR EXPERIENCE? When I was contacted to be featured in Zone Magazine, I was very excited and happy. It is always such a wonderful feeling to know that others want to feature my work.
Valerie Chua-ILLUSTRATOR WHAT YOU DID FOR THIS ISSUE? I did 1 watercolour work and 2 acrylic works. These were actually done months ago. I didn’t have time to produce work for Zone so I submitted a few of my most feminine and most recent work instead. YOUR EXPERIENCE? It’s always been a nervous ride when I work. I tried to experiment with the medium. I wasn’t sure of what I was doing half the time, especially for the acrylic works.
Amalia Airiz Casta-WRITER WHAT YOU DID FOR THIS ISSUE? Literary reviews for Writers Gone Wild by Bill Peschel and Gingerbread by Rachel Cohn. YOUR EXPERIENCE? I always see book reviewing as an enjoyable hobby. I like to blabber a lot about literature, and my reviews have always been the outlet for my ceaseless rave-and-rant. It’s actually like helping myself to a self-made dessert, with the books as the main dish. Reviewing Writers Gone Wild and Gingerbread is no exception--I’m pretty “full” after putting my thoughts about them on paper, if you know what I mean.
