your reflections on your self-study journey + the visual essay you wrote spoke a lot to me...that illustration of the wall of “you have to be a good designer” to reach your dreams reminder me of the internal walls I keep putting in front of myself 🥲 so seeing you push thru that wall and get to making pouch is so inspiring!!
also, have you explored riso printing for zines? just took a Riso class and saw a lot of zines printed at the shop I was at. I’m based in the Bay Area, but I’m aware of NYC based print shops like Risolab and Lucky Riso Graph
Thanks so much Breanna!! I'm so happy the essay resonated 🥹
omg I see beautiful risoprinted things everywhere but I haven't tried it myself yet!! I definitely want to try sometime, the effect is so gorgeous 😍 a class on riso printing sounds so fun too!!!
Thanks so much for being an early pouch reader tooo - can't wait to send it to you, I'll DM ya on twitter when it's ready!!!
Cannot stress enough how reading these updates makes me so happy! It’s so VRK. Count me in as a pouch tester (poucher? pouchie? Pouchette? Need to workshop this group name)!
This is great!! Your learnings on design sound super helpful and I loved reading the mmm page on your learning process. I'd love to be a paper tester for Pouch when the time comes!
would love to be a pouch early reader as well!
