Yayoi Kusama inspired zine based on a dot font

The design concept of the zine dedicated to the works of Yayoi Kusama is based on her unique visual language, where dots become the main element symbolizing infinity and interconnection.

Visual structure
The font, developed by Fontstruct, consists of intersecting and repeating dots, which creates a dynamic rhythm on the pages of the zine. These dots “travel” throughout the publication, connecting text and images, creating an effect of movement and infinity. Each design element, from the headlines to the illustrations, is permeated with this playful play of forms, allowing the reader to feel the atmosphere of Kusama’s work.

Color palette
The color scheme of the zine includes bright, contrasting colors that are reminiscent of Yayoi Kusama’s iconic works. Bright yellow, red and black dots on a white background create visual tension and attract attention, emphasizing the main theme of the artist’s works – dots as a symbol of infinity and self-expression.

Theme and Content
Each page of the zine can be dedicated to different aspects of Kusama’s work, from her installations and paintings to her personal history and philosophy. The text will be accompanied by illustrations that recreate the atmosphere of her famous installations, such as the “Infinity Room”. The use of dots in the design of the illustrations and text will create a harmonious combination of visual and textual content.

Interactive Elements
To engage readers in Kusama’s world, interactive elements can be added, such as dot stickers that they can place on the pages of the zine, creating their own compositions. This not only emphasizes the concept of creativity, but also makes reading more fun and personalized.

In this way, the concept of the zine will not only be a tribute to Yayoi Kusama, but also a unique art project that encourages readers to explore the world of dots and infinity.
