PROJECT OVERVIEW
In 2020 when New York City, and New York State declared the state of emergency in March 14 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to take the time to go out and take photos. I took photos from early march until the about august. Every other week I would go out and document what I saw and what was happening at the time. This was my therapeutic release from everything that was happening at the time ie. The pandemic, my trip to California Joshua tree got cancel, my semester abroad to japan got canceled, college got totally different, and I did not loved my living situation.
This zine tries to cover many of the things that were happening at the time and also I tried my best to document a once in probably a lifetime event through my eyes and the missing essence and/or soul of New York City.
PROJECT ITERATIONS
First Draft
Second Draft
Third Draft
The third draft seems to me the best Iteration so far, most of the folks I show it to enjoy it!
FINDING THE RIGHT PRINTER
The first two drafts I used amazon printing services which to my surprise it is a pretty decent and cheap printer.
The third draft I used maxim services and I did not like it even though the paper and the colors are better and more accurate to what I wanted but they fuck up my zine by letting the paper and the prints bleed through the middle and messing up all the other images which Amazon print services manage to not do lol.
