First post, yay!
Finished this one today, nothing monumental but I'm happy with it. It's fanart of fanart, funny to think.

Had a burst of energy/inspiration/itch to get zining again over the last few days
& been finally doing the hard work of adjusting articles from issue 1 & 2 for print, revisiting old feelings re some of the personal content, changing font sizes (one whole section had a font that looked good on screen but ended up looking far too big on the text print), adjusting/improving layouts, updating/revising text where needed, adding bleed and checking any urls still work + changing them to visible text not hyperlinks.
Decided to change the image of me wearing the Forever t-shirt from the original version as I feel better about myself now.
The original Viz Elvis Presley Dambusters clock plate of Tutankhamun collage was tiny res, I had to upscale it & recreate the text in Affinity Photo. - managed to re-find my scan of the advert & get a screengrab of Dennis performing You Are So Beautiful. (found a really good free upscaler at Upscale Media)
That handwriting font was really annoying me (looks a bit too messy, not happy with some of the joined letters & not sure it's going to be readable enough when actually printed) so I've almost completely changed it from Biro script font to Conté Script, since taking the screenshots, after going through a whole load of font samples til the word beautiful lost all meaning . Also the first spread doesn't quite look like that now, I've added some more graphics.
All layout design was done in version 1 of Affinity Publisher (some of the original layout etc. for the pdf issue 1 was done with a dodgy copy of Indesign).

Like stars burning holes right through the dark
Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were one inch from the edge of this bed
I drag you back
