Summary
A series of experimental zine-style print pieces by SBMR mixing halftone illustrations, handwritten poetry, playful icons, and collage layouts across a cobalt blue backdrop.
Visual description
Multiple overlapping zine pages fan across a cobalt blue backdrop, each printed on different colored stocks (pale blue, pale green, white, teal, gradient purple). Pages layer with hand-drawn illustrations of planets and spheres in halftone patterns, playful icons like a tomato and rocket ship in bright colors, and handwritten annotations and markers in blue and black ink. Text fragments scatter organically across the collage. Grid patterns appear on some sheets, mixing printed geometric structure with loose, spontaneous handwriting.
Key takeaway
Stack printed pages with varied colors and handwritten overlays to create rhythmic visual texture that feels both curated and playfully unfinished. The mix of halftone, solid color, hand-drawn, and typed elements works because they share a common blue-dominant palette and consistent paper scale.
