Zine culture meets the pre-streaming era CD sleeve! Growing up in the 90s and early 00s, I remember what it was like to buy a CD and listen to the album front-to-back while reading the liner notes in the CD sleeve. I decided to combine my love for CD booklets with my fascination with zine-making to create a tangible experience to accompany the digital album IKOV.
I designed the 20-page 5.5 x 8.5 IKOV lyrics zine containing lyrics, images, and short reflective writing for every song on the album.
I hope you'll do like I used to do and listen to IKOV while reading the zine.

lyrics
Won’t you come to my place?
You like how the wine tastes
You see look on my face
And smile and laugh
And you say you like all the books on my bookcase
And I say
Drop your location
You know I’m waiting
I’m on my way then
I’m on my way
I will take your pain
Try to make it mine for as long as I can
Just give it time don’t cover up the stain
Will you take my name?
Take me as I am?
Me and all my shame?
I got to be upfront with you
That winter took it out of me
But here I am in front of you
So why don’t you
Drop your location
You know I’m waiting
I’m on my way then
I’m on my way
Leave it all behind
