Hong Kong Zine

Hong Kong Zine
With the song by Teresa Teng, I decided to make a lyric book zine based on her song - Hong Kong with the pictures I took on my digicam from my exchange with PolyU

The Problem
How might we translate the nostalgia and emotion of a song into a visual narrative through photography, typography, and the format of a lyric book?
The Approach
At first, I wanted a simple photo zine that showcased all the pictures I took, but I wanted a more personal touch to the zine and tried working on Lightroom for the first time. I used Lightroom to give the pictures a more Hong Kong vibe to the zine and after discovering the Teresa Teng song, I thought it would really convey the Hong Kong vibe with my pictures, colouring and text and to communicate that feeling visually was a design challenge that I really enjoyed
Having a very Hong Kong traditional vibe as the cover
Scattering the lyrics and playing around with overlay to add texture and depth
Closer look on one of my favourite few pages
I loved the cohesiveness of using the two pages to combine them to say Hong Kong together as one
