After creating these, and presenting them in a peer critique, it was discussed that the focus should centre more around the text rather than the images. Although the images did play a part in the communication of the personal ad when they were printed, newspapers are primarily text based, and some felt that the inclusion of the images distracted from the message of the text.
From this I continued using text from personal ads, but instead focused on creating some sort of narrative to bring forward the idea of communicating a personal story. Initially I created two different narratives, with the intention that only one would be printed, but I felt that the contrast between them would work nicely when printed. From this I decided to make the zine double sided, so that each story would be communicated differently to different audiences depending on which way the sheet was folded.
