Iβm happy to share my latest project for The Laurence Trust If you liked by Wellbeing/ Helpful Hints Zines, this should be another strong contender. Basing this on the themes of body dysmorphia βFrom Being Held Back to Moving Forwardβ. This little carousel Zine delivers the true and embracive visuals to living in darkness and taking the reader on a journey to a warmer and bright future. Stating the strong message βItβs Not Okay to Not Be Okayβ, but with the right βSUPPORT YOU CAN BE OKAYβ. Everyone should feel strong, loved and confident even in the most difficult struggles and challenges in life πͺ To not feel okay, it is never a feeling someone should have. They should have an action plan of guaranteed support and know where to go and the right decisions to make with no fear βοΈ
To build this, the illustration performed with only one primary power source βColourβπ¨ The strategy which served as an emotional cue. Giving life to the tone flow, Fragmented β Confrontation β Connection β Recovery. Going from cold/ anxious visuals to then evolving into a warm/ grounded world. Combining this with researching and incorporating meaningful statements to express the illustrations and enhance the emotional deliverance.
