I did this short book with the idea of creating a risograph fanzine. It is an ironic and playful short story involving three frogs.
I tried to give to this project a strong sense of narrative, by linking every spread with the next one, to create a story progression. We start with the cover with only the body of a big frog, then we open the fanzine and we see the rest of its body and we are introduced to two other smaller frogs approaching. As we continue going forward, the two smaller frogs gain more importance, until we arrive at the back cover, with only them.
Stylistically I decided to use always the same picture of the same frog through all the fanzine, without differentiating the three characters other than by their size and position on the page. Even by this strong limitations, I think that the relational composition works enough to make the story readable and understandable.
I used a bitmap image mode on Adobe Photoshop to give this project a fanzine aesthetics and made it printable with this system.
