The DeZine project proposal was created to help bridge the gap between designers and the public. The goal of the project was to better equip community members with the tools and knowledge to make change within their communities. The concept behind this project was to create a monthly Zine (or mini-magazine) tailored to the needs and interests of local surveyed community members. Zine publication launches could be paired with in-person workshops hosted at local community centers, which would reinforce community bonds, and encourage engagement.
