JM2: Zine Makers: Crafting A Peer Poetry Zine Journey Meeting

About the Event

In our second Journey meeting, participants will explore how visual design transforms poetry into an immersive reading experience and discover how layout, typography, imagery, and white space can deepen a poem’s meaning and emotional impact. Working collaboratively, the group will establish a shared aesthetic vision for their collective zine while learning key principles of visual storytelling and publication design. Participants will then apply these concepts by designing a peer’s poem in Canva, balancing creativity with care to preserve the original writer’s voice. Through discussion, reflection, and hands-on creation, participants will gain practical experience in transforming written work into visually engaging pages while contributing to a cohesive and community-centered publication.
