Unzine

Client: Personal project

Role: Graphic designer

Media: Digital, print, zine

Date: 2018-present

Unzine is a collaborative project with designer Vanessa Vallejo. It combines pieces inspired on observations from our everyday lives; either looking into our physical surroundings or an introspection of our own thoughts. The result is an honest portrayal of our environment and ourselves presented in seemingly random pieces, each with their own private backstory.

We’ve printed zines composed of groupings of these pieces, while even more pieces remain in digital form.

This project remains ongoing since November 2018. On August 2019, it go featured on Kultwatch, a Swedish art and intersectional cultural online platform.

  • Experimental poster with text "and i saw her smile at a screen by herself"
  • Poster with text "waiting for pairing" and a radio FM transmitter device
  • Photograph of traffic light intersection with car blocking the lane in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Text "Mete mano y renuncia my dude""
  • Graphic poster with text in style of ramson note "Y esta vez puedo confiar en mi voto?""
  • Graphic with group silhouettes of cartoon figures filled with colors

The zine cover is a blind collaborative piece based on a common starting point, thus reflecting the interpretation of the two designers.
