Zines
The Ottawa Design Club Zine is a bi-annual publication featuring the works of creatives in our community. We started this project as a way to add a tactile experience to our online offerings. We wanted to connect with our community on a deeper level and highlight the talent in our city and beyond. We have sold hundreds of copies to design lovers all over Canada and even overseas!

0001 - Quarant-Zine
“What is this Zine? On one level, it is a sensory experience, colours, textures, words, and shapes. The feeling of collated pages in your hands. On another level, it is a physical manifestation of frustration, time, vulnerability, boredom, inspiration, impressions, and especially in this case and most importantly, community.”

0002 - Pop Culture
“We never really give up on the idols that filled our adolescence. The ones we binged upon to the point of obsession, then dropped suddenly—almost coolly and dispassionately—from our lives. We left them, opting to experiment with a new personality and grow into the person we were “meant to become”. But eventually—and perhaps quietly—we bring them back into our lives.”
