Stapled is a magazine exploring the rise of online zine culture while referencing the tactile, DIY nature of traditional zines. The design balances a scrapbook-like aesthetic with contemporary editorial structure. All imagery was created and treated consistently, using cut-out compositions, hand-drawn elements, and halftone textures to reference zine vernacular.

A limited color palette unifies the layouts, while bright yellow “highlighter” lines and bracket icons act as recurring motifs. The typography uses unconventional typefaces to reinforce a playful tone, with layouts that feel chaotic, yet intentional and structured.
