The Stress of College Education and Debt Zine

Project Description:

In this zine project, I explored storytelling through photography by playing with the editing of the images to create and maintain a specific story and express a message directly to my audience. My overall theme being one that is especially crucial to college students, as I express the dangers that college education and debt can have on one's mental health, and the debilitating stress that it can leave in its wake. I created this feeling throughout my zine, as I made an extremely chaotic layout with numerous overlapping and converging images to really express the "messy" nature of the stress of debt and its impact. Through the creative process of the formation of this zine, I showcased my knowledge and experience with photo-editing in a more graphic and creative way, as well as in understanding page layout and the transition from digital work to a physical print.
