Memory Zine
My Gran would make books/cards for others’ special occasions, and never received one herself. As another outcome of this project, I decided to change that. Replicating the same format, this zine serves as a gift to her, investigating the objects I’ve chosen and the specific memory attached to them. This outcome shows the true value of these seemingly ordinary objects, detailing the special memories my Gran and I share and the impact she had on others.
The final zine is fully screenprinted, featuring both text and images, taking advantage of the original book’s unique layout, creating an engaging outcome.
