The shape of tommorrow zine

Ben and Ken luckily extended the deadline to the 15th, which was great and means i can submit something, I can get into college and use the resources if need be. The shape of tommorow is a series of a5 zines, each based on a shape, with the first being a circle. I was a little stuck for decent ideas last week, But with a fresh approach (and extended deadline today), heres how it's going so far.

I took this image first, of my chinese health balls, just because they are appealing to look at and this could have made quite a nice full bleed duotoned image for the zine. Then I started thinking about the geometry of circles and things like crop circles. This lead me to the name Euclid after an internet search. Euclid was ancient greek mathematician, and geometrist who actually originated the circle shape.

This made me think of that old fashioned quote "only a mad man can draw a perfect circle" - was euclid crazy? Who knows, hes dead.

Im thinking of just using that image with the red outlines, and putting it through illustrator and making the outlines vectorised, and the desired colour. It's already the right size, and I'm happy with how the illustration actually looks.
