'The Rabbit Hole' is fairly simple in content. A risographed spiral bound zine with illustrations, photography, and writing reflecting on my inner thoughts. It seemed that the pandemic that started two years prior had a grip on me; and with being hospitalized with the flu during my first year in college, over time I've developed obsessive, germaphobic thoughts that don't seem to go away, despite how normal things appear to be now.

A zine featuring illustration, expressive typography, and grainy photography, 'The Rabbit Hole' gave me both an emotional outlet I had been meaning to talk about for a long time considering the obsessive thoughts that come into my head, and combined this outlet with many things I love: Velvetyne typefaces, duo color risograph printing, digital illustration, and halftone photography. Although maybe not cut and bound completely flawlessly, 'The Rabbit Hole' is near and dear to me because it represents a time where I felt that I was able to have an outlet for my thoughts and feelings in a form that was meaningful, and somewhat relatable.

Even if readers don't experience these same thoughts that I do, 'The Rabbit Hole' seems like a gateway between design, and my inner feelings in a harmonious expression of anxiety. In this way, I feel that producing and publishing 'The Rabbit Hole' was an important experience for me to realize there doesn't need to be a gap between design that is personal, and academically meaningful.
