Boob Zine.
المجلة بيني و بينك
Creative direction, design, account management, strategy.
I noticed that there was minimal representation of Arab art and design in magazines throughout the US and Europe, so I decided to create my own magazine dedicated to Arab artists.
My zine is named “bainy wa bainak” meaning “between me and you,” we normally say this when we are about to share something personal to a close friend.
Arabic speakers like to make nicknames, which shortens “bainy wa bainak” to “boob” (it’s just lucky the “b” letters make the shape of boobs).
This magazine is written in both Arabic and English and is intended for a global audience.
The first issue will come out in 2019 and is curated around the theme “hard feelings”.
This is a mockup of the first cover.
I hopes this zine will help show the world what the Middle East and North Africa really looks like, help artists get their name out, and change negative perseptions about Arab people generally.
