CONSEQUENCES
CONSEQUENCES is a zine created for CSGV, a non-profit gun control advocacy organization opposing gun violence. The goal of this zine is to create awareness of gun violence in the United States.
The typography shatters across the whole zine showing the idea of a bullet shattering bones and minds when people are shot. A bullet continues to travel across the pages to show the never-ending pain and tragedy of American gun violence.
The zine features articles and original infographics visualizing gun violence data on salmon-colored paper, referencing police reports and blood-stained paper.

I am originally from Japan and currently living in Pasadena. I have lived in a variety of different cities around the world, including Tokyo, Hong Kong, Vienna, Toronto and New York. These diverse experiences have enriched my personal understanding of the world. By growing up in and experiencing diverse cultures, I have always enjoyed looking at the graphics and posters found in different cities.
As a visual communicator, I am interested in knowing how our perception is influenced by and reacts to different design elements, including color, typography and shape.
