The magazine is marketed in a very gender neutral, forward thinking manor. This would be a great way to market the XY zine in terms of keeping it neutral.
Cover Design (Use of gradient in neutral colour):
Full-bleed image editorial:
Typesetting and framed imagery:
Cover Design (Successful use of a stereotypically feminine colour):
The overall aesthetic of the zine just proves that colours that are stereotypical male or female can indeed be used to market a gender fluid publication.
The simplicity that has been implemented makes the imagery pop out of the page. Collaborating with a photographer means that the XY zine needs to mirror this effectively.
With the sheer variation of scale within the content, typesetting will be a challenge, some people have said but a mere sentence in comparison to a full page of writing, maintaining consistency throughout the zine may be difficult, however PYLOT proves that it is indeed possible to make varying content of the same theme interesting and engaging.
