1. The art program invited participants to choose different regions and areas that are particularly meaningful to them, including the existing objects, mind flow, and the imagination of spirits they found at that place. The artist illustrate and visualise what the participants said into image and words.

2. The interesting form of the zine and the red colour catch my eyes. Then the title 在此也有神 attracts me to read the story. The paper selected looks like Talisman paper, which is related to the topic ‘spirit’ and ‘god’.

3. The zine record the experience shared by participants and tell the story be recording the dialogue.

5. The zine only used of two colours, red and black and printed on pink paper. Used of risograph printing need to be aware of the positive and negative space.

6. This zine would like to bring the ideas that everything has a soul. Focused on the relationship between location, object and spirit. Finally the artist realised that there are no boundaries between the three. The human are just like those three objects, and somehow created them all. It also reminded to connect with and feel the world, the nature,think about the relationship between us and other objects in the world.

1. This zine follows a hand doing some pretty silly stuff, like chopping soft things at first—like apples and fish. But then it ramps up to chopping sharp, hard objects like cacti, bricks, and even triangle tips! The illustrations are simple black lines on a white background, giving it a cute and playful vibe.

2. I was drawn to the all-white cover with a large black line-drawn hand and no text. You only see the title once you flip to the first page, which definitely piqued my curiosity.

3. The visuals tell the story, with the hand facing new challenges on each page. I love the contrast between the unblemished hand at the beginning and the damaged one at the end. It adds depth to the theme of growth through challenges. The colored objects being chopped really stand out.

4. •Visual Metaphor : The hand symbolizes strength《怎麼練就手劈磚》, but it’s funny because it’s chopping such random things, especially the sharp stuff later on.

•Composition: The hand is usually in the center, making it the star of the show, and emphasizes the items which are splitting by hand

•Positive & Negative Space: There’s lots of white space, which highlights the drawings and keeps things feeling clean.

1. I think there are two ways to read this zine’s message,

First, the hand goes through all these challenges and, even though it ends up damaged, those scars show it was brave enough to take risks. It’s still a "cool hand" because of that, highlighting the idea of growth through challenges.

Second, it’s a bit absurd that a regular hand thinks it can chop through anything with just its own strength. The things it chops, like mugs and bricks, raise the question: “Can a hand really solve everything?” By the end, it’s not just a good hand but a cool one, hinting at a bit of overconfidence. The damaged hand reminds us that even if we succeed, there can be a price to pay.

【1. 】I believe this zine is a satire on the freedom of the press in mainland China. The press only broadcasts the information and ideas that the officials want the public to receive. There is no mention of news that affects collective thinking, the suffering of the underclass, or the lack of news about sex harassment or sex education. Through this zine, the author hopes to express his condemnation of this hypocritical freedom of the press, and at the same time, he hopes to draw the attention of the public to social issues in another way. 【2. 】This zine is very attractive in appearance first of all. They chose to use wood board printing to print the cover. At the same time, I was intrigued by the fact that they chose to print the cover on plain paper, rather than using a high quality hard card stock or some other special process. Furthermore, this is a zine which is related to my reference artist, Kacey Wong as he also works on protest art. 【3.】 The zine is a mixture of sexually explicit photographs of life, satirical cartoons, people's handwritten post-it notes, and a selection of social media screenshots to create a sense of discomfort with the freedom of false news.【5. 】The artist used a cartoon to satirize and explicitly bring out the point of false news reporting.【6. 】Excessive news-correction will lead to distortion of the public's thinking. And the press will lose its credibility. The author creates a reality of survival in such desperate circumstances that the reader can empathize with it.

1. The zine is talking about the creators who are a group of friends and all of them are Virgo. There are some conversations between them.

2. I picked this zine since I’m attracted by the title and front page. Also I enjoy reading things about the daily lives of the creators.

3. The book mainly included some collages of their photos and interviews. As an audience, I can understand more about their friendship and lives being a Virgo.

4. The layout of the zine is random and the words are hand-written(pen&highlighter). Although some pages seem to be messy, this composition let me imagine a diary. So I think it can shorten the distance between the pages and the audience and be more into the content. It can raise the intimacy of the zine also.

5. Although the title is about hate for Virgo. By reading the zine and the explanation of the creators, I found that the main purpose of this zine is to spread love. The creators shared their stories and memories between each other. They are mainly about the challenges of being a Virgo and how their characteristics showed in the events, such as jealousy, empathy or stubbornness. Although it is tough to be a Virgo, they love theirselves and their Virgo friends.
