1 x Silver Saddle-Stitched Zine
For this project, the client requested a focus on silver and a connection between the futuristic visions in the books and the memories of a bygone era.
I used silver-coated metal foil for the covers of two books, while the third, an independent zine exploring contemporary ideas, features a cover of fragmented silver cardstock.
The tactile experience of the three volumes shifts from the coldness of metal, to the warmth of paper, and back to cold, creating a cyclical and cohesive whole.
