DEBATE

CLIENT

For this project, I worked with Ashley Linch to create a zine based on a debate from the Intelligence Squared site. The debate we chose is titled “The Two-Party System is Making America Ungovernable”.
Ashley handled layout design and copy while I handled illustrations.

OUR CONCEPT?

Ashley and I wanted to figure out a creative way to show two sides of this argument in a way that was easy to understand. We had also wanted to separate the main illustration from the content of the zine. Through ideation, we decided to create a two-side book, with each side describing each side of the argument. This book would unfold to reveal an illustration. The concept for the visual direction of the zine came from a line during the debate by David Brooks, which stated, “That’s what the two parties have become, they’ve become tribes, almost ethnic tribes”.
