design*obsession: 0_100 editions

happy july!! wow! it's already july! how the time is just whizzing by... isn't it? and yes, i do sound like a broken record as i think i have written this thought on my blog so many times! i apologize if i have been saying it quite often, but it just surprises me when i think about how we're already past the half way point this year. i seriously don't know where the time is going...

a beautiful visual post to start off july on the right foot! i am a BIG BIG fan on magazines. i've written about them on many other posts, but something about them just does it for me. so do visual books, but mags, yes. i do love thee. but a zine that feels as significant as a book? now this is where some magic happens. i feel that 0_100 edition zines fall into this category. the design is simple and yet enticing... a magazine yes, but feels precious like a book. a delicate balance between something that is fleeting vs something that has longevity. even their own company description is minimal, but to the point. it feels that that is what the zine is all about. each detail is thoughtful. makes me think about how the way we spend our time in our lives is fleeting, but if we were to take each moment at a time, it could feel more permanent...

also, before i finish up my blog post today, i just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank all the people who have been so very supportive the past 3 years. the launch yesterday was just wonderful and all the positive feedback made me realize that through the many ups and downs, at the end, it was the right decision to choose the path of starting up zakka nouveau. i don't know where this path will lead me, but i do now know that, more than anything, it's important to believe in oneself and follow your heart. heart, thank you for guiding the way and never giving up on me.
