Par Roots Zīni

Šis modulārais izdevums sastāv no zīniem, katrs veidots ar vizuālo valodu, kas atspoguļo stāstnieku identitāti. Centrā ir Ņujorkas kafejnīcas, tverot, kā jaunie imigranti veido saiknes un piederības sajūtu. Šūtais un vakuumētais formāts simbolizē pārejošību un emocionālo spriegumu. Caur personīgajiem stāstiem projekts atklāj mazo uzņēmumu sociālo vērtību un pārveido emocionālo dizainu par iekļaušanas instrumentu.

Preses materiāli

Dizainera sniegtie autori, komandas dalībnieki un tehniskie dati.

Unikālās īpašības: 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.
Izmēri un iepakojums: 203.2 mm x 139.7 mm zine, 6 zines total, 120 pages, printed media with sewn binding, vacuum sealed in a plastic bag.
Birkas: Zine, Book, Ethnographic Research, Branding, Customer Experience
Ražošanas tehnoloģija: 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.
Dizaina izaicinājums: 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.
Pētījums: 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.
Iedvesma: 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.
Projekta ilgums: An ongoing project started in August 2022. The most recent update was in July 2024.
Darbības plūsma: 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.
