The primary inspiration for this zine is the concept of establishing balance, which I believe is relevant to everyone, regardless of age. In today’s world, we are all seeking work-life balance, balance in our relationships, and other areas of our lives. Therefore, it’s an excellent topic for readers to relate to when exploring emotions. To portray the complexity of our emotions and the balancing act we perform, I utilized asymmetrical layouts for both text and type expressions. The zine’s colors are complementary, showcasing how emotions can be extreme on both ends of the spectrum. Lastly, the overlapping images and text provide a visual representation of how emotions work in layers, influencing one another.
