The
Enemy Fanzine .................................................................
Designing fanzines is great fun. Usually because I have a free reign on
the layout, because it needs to look like a real fanzine. Although these
days you can get away with not designing fanzines on photocopiers
that is exactly what I did. Scalpals, masking and magic tape at the ready.
Having designed fanzines for Boy Kill Boy, and
23rd Union, Mercury Records enlisted myself and Josh Jones (editor of
all three fanzines) to write and design a fanzine for the sheffield born
'soon-to-be-bigger-than-god' band, The Enemy. So well received was our
effort that the record label have decided to reprint 30,000 of them.
