Student’s Guide to Radical Healing

Zine Layout

I was invited by the Jean Nidetch Women’s Center at UNLV to join their team for the Student’s Guide to Radical Healing, a zine focused on trauma-informed healing. Working with the amazing illustrator Briana Calacsan, I created the layout for the zine that incorporated her illustrations of cactus characters.

The final product for now is a digital zine: a tagged pdf complete with image descriptions, active links, and a working table of contents. I researched extensively on how to create an accessible pdf with optimal screen reading capabilities.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, I was one of six panelists on a digital panel celebrating the release of the publication, where I talked about my process and general love for zines.

The zine can be downloaded here!
