  'COYBOY' Zine: Issue 1 - IdentityCreated own zine with ideas formulated through brainstorming sessions, which allowed a solid layout and theme to emerge. Collaborated closely with graphic designers and filmmakers to generate ideas for my decided layout. Reached out to creatives from all over the world, to feature them in the zine and establish appropriate interviews accordingly. Familiarised myself with artists’ work and carefully chose specific ideas that fitted the theme of my zine. Shared the zine on social media as well
