My zine was about a truism that I wrote, “loving yourself depends on circumstance,” in which I describe that loving yourself is based on where you are in your life, and a more developed and happy person is more likely to love themselves than someone who is unhappy in their life and circumstances. Along with the truism, I designed an abstract set of patterns and a chromatic type to compliment my truism. This project was created to touch on multiple design elements, pushing me to create a unique chromatic type, work on an abstract design, all while working on printing with the risograph printer and in the end, folding all 25 zines in a certain manner. The project challenged me because there were so many elements that went into the design, such as design itself, typography and craft. In the end, I believe the project helped make me a better designer by making me use so many design elements all on one project.
