- "ADHD" zines"ADHD" zine embraces the positivity of having ADHD. This seasonal zine provides support and information for those living or in contact with anyone with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Collated and spread out over a seasonal zine series. The visual imagery acts as the disorder would, with cues and triggers laid throughout that distract the reader and make it difficult at times to focus.

- Hot ShotsThe term ‘fad’ can be defined through the notion of a ‘phase.’ Once culminated, a fad is preserved as a memory. Revisiting such a memory often proffers feelings of nostalgia. This nostalgia can be epitomized through the yo-yo. A yo-yo is often used, discarded, remembered, even sometimes seen as a temporary obsession. Narrated through a neat, clean setting of type, Hot Shots provides an overview of the toy; from unknown origins to current day influence. The opposite pages document personal anecdotes and experiences of yo-yo’s. These have been submitted online and are typeset to various grids, directly constructed from the motions of the yo-yo when in use. This also relates to the yo-yo effect, an up and down diet craze that doesn’t show results and is reflected upon the spreads with a contrasting typeset. The spontaneity of the yo-yo each time it falls has been captured and translated typographically, taking the reader on a journey through Hot Shots. Smaller inserts have been placed to break up the narrative which gradually gets harder throughout the book; this is reflected on the opposite page which naturally gets more sporadic as the reader advances through the book.
