Roots Zines Diseinuari Buruz

Argitalpen modular hau zine-ez osatua dago, bakoitza kontalarien identitatea islatzen duen hizkuntza bisualarekin landua. New Yorkeko kafetegien inguruan zentratuta, immigrante berriek konexioa eta baitakotasuna nola nabigatzen duten jasotzen du. Josita eta hutsean zigilatutako formatuak behin-behinekotasuna eta tentsio emozionala evokatzen ditu. Narratiba pertsonalen bidez, proiektuak enpresa txikien balio soziala agerian jartzen du eta diseinu emozionala inklusiorako tresna gisa berriz formulatzen du.

Diseinuaren Atzean

Diseinatzaileak emandako kredituak, taldekideak eta xehetasun teknikoak.

Propietate Bereziak: A book of zines, each a voice, a mood, a rhythm. Designed with visualized personal styles from the storyteller, these fragments emerge from coffee shops in New York, where new immigrants seek connection in a fast moving city. Loosely sewn and vacuum sealed, the form speaks of impermanence. This modular archive becomes both vessel and invitation, mapping emotion, honoring small businesses, and asking what design can do when it listens.
Neurriak eta Ontziratzea: 203.2 mm x 139.7 mm zine, 6 zines total, 120 pages, printed media with sewn binding, vacuum sealed in a plastic bag.
Etiketak: Zine, Book, Ethnographic Research, Branding, Customer Experience
Produkzio Teknologia: A modular collection of zines, each using different paper stocks, printing methods, and a mix of sewn and Coptic binding. Every material choice was shaped by conversations with storytellers. Inspired by the Chinese Red Thread legend, the bindings reflect connection and distance. A business card included in the set acts as an invitation, extending the narrative and welcoming new voices into the ongoing story.
Diseinu Erronka: The biggest challenge was conducting interviews with storytellers in a neutral, non leading way, helping them share their stories without guiding them toward specific narratives about their relationship with coffee and local culture. This was particularly challenging because the influence of environment, brand design, and tone on consumers, especially who are not native speakers, is often indirect.
Ikerketa: This research combines qualitative and quantitative methods to explore how coffee connects foreign individuals to local communities. It aims to understand how cafe branding influences consumer decision making. Data was collected through interviews, questionnaires, and cultural probes with over 40 participants. The findings emphasize the significance of emotional connections in branding and suggest that businesses can enhance consumer engagement by focusing on emotional design in real life interactions.
Inspirazioa: Coffee branding often reflects local culture and community, as coffee shops serve as social anchors. As a former international student, I saw coffee, a global symbol, as a bridge to belonging. I visited local cafes across New York, gathering stories from outsiders and navigating connections. This project is both a storytelling platform and a reflection on how brand and experience design shape human relationships.
Proiektuaren Iraupena: An ongoing project started in August 2022. The most recent update was in July 2024.
Eragiketa Fluxua: This book, or zine collection, connects with readers through print in a tangible way. Its unique visual language tells stories while reflecting the personal style of each storyteller. The first zine introduces the inspiration of the project, followed by others sharing diverse stories, reinforcing community. The final zine guides readers on how to participate and invites them to contribute. A business card on the vacuum sealed packaging provides submission details.
