About the project
As part of the design team, we collaboratively shape the visual direction of each issue - from developing the cover and table of contents to designing the full editorial layout. Together, we build the overarching aesthetic of the zine, ensuring every page feels cohesive, intentional, and aligned with the publication's creative identity.
Each issue explores a distinct cultural thread, ranging from the food industry and climate consciousness to questions of identity, belonging, and community. The zine uses design as a lens to navigate these themes, weaving typography, imagery, and layout into narrative spaces that feel both intimate and expansive. Our upcoming issue offers a glimpse into a new direction—examining lifestyle patterns shaped by technology and the experience of being chronically online. It’s an exploration of how digital habits blur into our analog lives, and how visual storytelling can reflect the tension, humor, and hyper-connectedness of modern existence.
Our process is deeply collaborative and unfolds over a series of weekly meetings. Before any layouts are built, we begin with individual moodboards in response to a shared prompt—gathering visual references, conceptual ideas, and thematic sparks. During our meetings, we bring these explorations together, narrowing in on a unified visual direction and defining the aesthetic language of the issue. From there, each designer creates an initial cover concept based on the palette, tone, and design cues we’ve established. After presenting and discussing these options, the team votes on the cover that best captures the spirit of the theme. That chosen cover then becomes our anchor for the rest of the issue. With a direction in place, we divide responsibilities: table of contents, visual dividers, typographic treatments, and supporting layouts for essays, poems, and research pieces. Week by week, we present updates, refine the visual system, and shape the world of the issue together—iterating until every page feels cohesive, intentional, and complete.
