LET'S TALK: ZINE

Create a zine to showcase a design for a community centric multi-use space to support Building Bridge’s goals of community cohesion, education and interfaith relationships. To help Building Bridges gain funding for this project we will produce visuals that are accessible to the public and a new manifesto, bringing more financial support. To achieve this we will develop skills including; surveying, publication/portfolio layout and presentation, photography and visuals.
