This isn’t just a zine. It’s a zineapedia— a combination of the relaxed rules and informal guidelines often applied to zines combined with aspects of an encyclopedia that usually gives detailed information about a particular subject.
PSST! (Pullovers, Spiders, Swords, and Tomatoes) is a collaborative project in the MFA Visual Design Studio course. The project started with each student picking an animal or object and recreating it in 100 different ways based on various directives. The brief included image creation and writing. The writing consists of historical information, fiction, and poetry about the subject. Each student had to use the object as the inspiration for a 13-page layout and section that included writing about the object or insect.
