JIG Zine
Personal Project
A monthly themed zine with friends to express our creativity in unique ways. Every month, a new theme was selected and we let our imaginations run wild, exploring different concepts and ideas. We took turns designing the covers, which allowed each of us to showcase our artistic style, while everyone contributed to the content inside. The result was a blend of our diverse talents and perspectives, making each issue a true reflection of our collective creativity.

January Theme
Atlanta
The Brief
Some of us are still in Atlanta and some of us are in other parts of the country but we all became pals in the ATL. So this month’s creative should speak to what you love or miss about Atlanta.
February Theme
Heartbreak
The Brief
We’ve all been there, whether it’s getting dumped or being rejected by your crush, hearts break for many reasons. It doesn’t even have to be relationship focused, just pull from experiences and put together some pages that represent the things that have hurt the worst. And feel free to use this as a platform to finally say “it’s over...you fucking bitch”.
March Theme
Hand Drawn
The Brief
We all have our eyes glued to screens each and every workday, so I thought it might be a nice change of pace to do an all pencil (or pen) and paper zine. Just take a moment, step away from the screen and sketch out whatever you feel like for this one.
April Theme
Macabre
The Brief
It’s Easter Sunday, what better way to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead than to bring to life your most disturbing and horrifying creations. Jump in to your favorite metal playlist or watch a scary movie, anything to bring out those inner demons.
May Theme
Collage
The Brief
I have these collage assets that I’ve never really done anything with so thought it would be fun to see what folks can create using the same creative materials. So dig in a create some mashed-up imagery.
