HU THE ZINE
HU is an artist collective and publication dedicated to creativity and the human experience. I joined the team in 2023 for a volunteer opportunity as an editorial designer.
I worked on three different zines following the theme “The Year of Intimacy,” which consisted of “Erotic,” “Sensual,” and “Blush,” plus a full magazine, “Other Matters of the Heart.” It was a blast working with so many creatives who were taking time out of their busy lives to engage in a community-building project!
The first two spreads for Erotic featured a variety of magenta and red shades to evoke
eroticism from the images.
The following three spreads for Sensual and Blush
use full spreads with overlapping imagery and collage elements. Along with pink tones to match the zine theme and sensual emotions.
Finally, two featured spreads from the end-of-year magazine. I love how the vibrant reds from the flowers contrast with the bright greens and other warm tones. The focus for these spreads was to maintain consistency in type with HU Guidelines (size, typeset), while allowing freedom with imagery and headlines.
