Fanzine
2018-19

Creative direction, copywriting and production for Issue 1 and 2 of the Own fanzine. Looking at the concerns around money, club ownership and the changing face of the current game. Capturing the comedic and chaotic spirit of fanzines from the 80s and 90s - When Saturday Comes, The End and Boy’s Own - the ‘Own Fan Club’ express their disillusion with top-tier football through nostalgic graphics and tongue-in-cheek ‘reader’ based features (Ins and Outs, Personal Ads and Letters page).

The staple-bound zine WASs photocopied using budget white and fluorescent stock, keeping true to the do-it-yourself aesthetic and attitude of fanzine culture. The fanzine and opening collection was featured on the international football platform Soccerbible.
