This is a little zine about succulents that hopefully strikes a balance between useful information about succulents and other fun things. There are a variety of pages including, how to care for succulents, illustrations, a comic, etc. The zine also includes a sticker sheet and seed paper tombstones in the back.

To kickstart the launch of the zine, a small launch party was held where each of the attendees received a copy of the zine and some succulent leaf cuttings to propagate. The goal is for them to grow their cuttings into adult plants so they will be able to pass off more leaf cuttings to someone else! A propagation info sheet is also included in the back so the next person has instructions on how to take care of their leaf cuttings.

My contribution to the zine was inspired by the thumbnail above. I started out with the intersecting, organic lines on the bottom right of the blue and pink piece. The lines then extend and become rigid, following a grid. I also made little ghost sticky notes for the pink side for people to draw their own ghosts and populate the “town.”

Video games is the topic of this zine. It includes a printed zine as well as a website following the gaming adventures of two fictional brothers. They start their printed zine in 1994, cutting and pasting printed images from their parent’s basement, and eventually change their platform to a website. On one hand this zine explores the timelessness of games, as the games chosen to focus on are the same in both media, but also how games and technology have changed over time. Red Panda, is a fictional game featured in both zines.
