I analyzed and attempted to mimic the styles of period magazines such as Harper's, Newsweek, and Ebony. I took advantage of the appearance of some collaged elements in my research and used it to both stay within the time period constraints as well as modernize the zine. Currently it only utilizes filler text, but if the magazine were to actually be printed, it would contain articles on the personal/ethical/environmental benefits of tiny living as well as interviews of people pursuing the lifestyle.
This is a concept Zine promoting the tiny home lifestyle. I based the aesthetic and layouts off of the midcentury modern design style as well as 60s-70s magazines in order to make tiny homes feel less scary, and more normal and comfortable. I believed this would be effective due to this time period being romanticized (for its simplicity and its focus on the family and home) by modern audiences.
