For my zine I want the theme of it to be about the concept of yin/yang. Yin/yang is one of my favorite concepts and I feel like a lot of people do not fully understand the power of it. It is a huge part of eastern philosophy and it describes that two complimentary principles can create harmony together. Yin is the negative, dark, and feminine, while Yang is the positive, bright, and masculine. These two principles can be used in many forms, so I thought it would be perfect for the zine.
I am going to make a black and white mini zine. I want it to be on the smaller end, so it can be carried anywhere. This way, you can be reminded of this philosophy in situations and hopefully it can bring you peace of mind and a reminder that you can find the good in anything. I was thinking it should be in black and white to amplify the drastic difference between the two principles. I will use each page to show different examples of yin/yang in various forms. I hopefully can help people understand how beautiful this concept is and how often we can see it in everyday day life.
I will explore different graphics, signs, infographics, sketches, etc. to figure out the best way to execute what I am trying to say for the reader. The plan for right now is to make it all black and white, but things may change in my exploration.
