Your posts are endlessly inspiring and always seem to come about when there’s something I might be thinking of or already in the process of doing. I so appreciate the detail you go into with this kind of stuff and how it’s never in topics done a dozen times before.
I’m in the process of starting a film photography club (spurred on in large part by your post on the subject). As an Art Director, I get bogged down in process easily, ideas can never just be thrown out there to the public unless they are fully formed and visualized. Branding is always a key part for me and the most fun, but can take a while. But I want this club to be happening now, hosting photowalks immediately, so that posed a real conundrum for me haha. So I gave myself the weekend, following my own Golden Rule, similar to yours tbh, and boiled it down to something that is simple and focused but can be iterated on over time as the club (hopefully) progresses. Both needs met through compromise for the greater good.
That’s a great article. I have made a few zines now and am comfortable with the basic design process so am now thinking of how to step up my design so value the insights Chris.

Happy to hear it's helpful Paul~ Good luck with the next project!
Excellent starting point - I'll be referring to it when I make the leap (sooner than later).
Cheers Paul, looking forward to when you take that leap!
