This zine dives into the significance of enduring friendships and maintaining them over time. Using basketball to depict the bonds formed through shared experiences: It is targeted towards individuals venturing off to college or departing from their hometown for the first time. Through gritty visuals and edgy typography, the zine captures the essence of camaraderie and the nostalgia of the memories made when friends are playing together experiencing true joy and time becoming a blur. The zine delves into the designer’s perspective on how their circle of friends maintains connection and friendship.
The project aims to showcase that when friends get together and participate in a stimulating activity such as basketball their mental health can improve, making communication with old friends becomes easier. People stay in better touch than through social media. Zines often delve into personal experiences, emotions, and reflections. When interacting with a zine, there is a connection with the creator’s authenticity and is like having a heartfelt conversation with a friend.
