  1. RESEARCH

For the “All Power Zine” project, moodboards were created to explore themes of empowerment and activism. Field studies analyzed similar zines to identify effective design tactics, and a style guide was developed to establish a cohesive visual language with typography, colors, and imagery that aligned with the zine’s message.

II. SKETCHES

Initial sketches explored layout options and the positioning of key design elements to effectively communicate themes of power, history, and solidarity. Color palettes were also experimented with.

III. DIGITAL COMPOSITIONS

Digital compositions were created using Photoshop and Illustrator, combining the chosen visual elements, typography, and imagery. These designs were refined to reflect the zine’s bold message while ensuring visual harmony. Elements and visual language has been developed.

IV. DIGITAL REVISIONS

Revisions were made based on group and client feedback to improve clarity, messaging, and aesthetics. The final changes ensured the zine communicated its themes effectively while maintaining a striking and cohesive visual style. It becomes more cohesive and the layout is solidified.
