brainstorm ideas:
Benefits of Mindfulness (depicting presence with calm, cool tones, peaceful imagery, awakens true self - ascendance / higher self, pictures / colors to show a greater awareness once practices are implemented)
Socioeconomic inequalities (broken things / under-represented sides of poverty / luxuries of wealth, things)
Power of Woman! / Femininity
Earth <3 Consciousness / Veganism / Climate Concern
Human Stressors And It's Okay (showing the little things that can be HARD! but that doesn't mean you are less, show yourself MORE kindness)
Power of Words / Tone / Intent (I guess this might be hard to illustrate without using words...hmmm)
Ways to Nurture Self / Emotions Matter (self-help practices)
Anxiety / Overwhelming Nature of the Unknown (a little zigzaggy lines / crazy colors / static / freeze / scribble page blob / overflow)
City VS Country / Culture Shock (using space / perspective to evoke feelings of claustrophobia / smallness, dirtiness, suffocation, fast pace burnout)
Authority / Social Divide (rebels questioning authority figures - cops, teachers, parents, old people, law makers, judges, anyone in charge / new take over)
Spirit Guide Journey (a spirit animal / majestic creature taking the reader for a magical journey, different spirit realms entering into and out of, different colors, themes, feelings, characters for each setting, along the way little lessons are learned / will be taken back with them as they return to the original place)
I think of these bulleted Zine ideas, the following are the most inspiring to me & produce something that is visually active in my head:
Spirit Guide Journey (title to be determined)
Totally can see colorful worlds! Almost like mario bros inspired! Guide could be a bat, could be a tiger, oooohh could be a shapeshifting spirit, that changes with each setting as well!!! Each lesson from a different animal, sort of like fables.
Culture Shock
can totally visualize some collages that can clearly say "the city overwhelms me" without words. big buildings, icky dirty streets, general unsafe vibes, hand sanitize me now please!, loud noises, cars / people flooding the streets, capitalism, billboard / ads, so much happening RIGHT NOW! fast pace!!!
