the zine exchange

Category: UX/UI Design

As someone who’s always had niche interests, I recognize the importance of being part of a community where those interests can be expressed and shared with others. For my thesis project, my goal is to create a digital community where people can easily trade and discover zines made by artists working in a variety of mediums.

Zine trading is an essential aspect of zine culture, but no digital platform has been specifically designed for this purpose. I want to change that. I will be utilizing my favorite design disciplines, including UX/UI, branding, and illustration, to arrive at the final product.
