ESCAPE:A VISUAL
PLAYLIST.
Escape: A Visual Playlist is a bi-scriptual zine that transforms my nostalgic teenage Hip-Hop and R&B playlist into an immersive editorial experience. Designed in both Arabic and English, the zine reflects the cross-cultural influence of these genres and how they shaped my identity.
Blending Chinese ink illustrations, analogue collages, and bit-mapped graphics, the visual identity mirrors the dynamic fusion of sound and storytelling in Hip-Hop and R&B. The color palette—purple, blue, yellow, and black—captures the genres' vibrancy and emotional depth, while expressive typography bridges both scripts seamlessly.
Beyond aesthetics, the zine serves as a narrative space, exploring how these genres shaped my teenage years while highlighting the artistic influences behind the tracks. Escape is both a personal and cultural reflection, celebrating music’s power through design and language.
