A collection of zines containing black and white images, riso prints, decorative text and paper of various colours and textures.
Look at these beauties! A set of zines created by photography students at the Royal Academy of Art in the Hague 📸
The students used their own photographs next to archival images from Europeana's collections 😍
Chuffed to be part of such a great project ☺️

Type and graphics to drool over - even in the 15th century, book designers knew what was up 🌞

A painting on canvas with a stone wall and leafy tree in the foreground, a grassy field and white building in the midground, and a cloudy sky behind.
A small boat with multiple people inside, on a moody sea in front of a light-filled but cloudy sky. Other boats behind.
The days are getting longer and it's making me think of Målning's light-filled canvases 🐚☁️🦪

This interactive article from Reuters is absolutely beautiful.
And the topic is one that's very close to my heart.
Give it a read, even if you're not into cosy games.
SO well executed.
P.S. Sound on!

Screenshot of a tweet by 'charles entertainment cheese' with the caption: 'okay snapchat i was not familiar with your game.' Below is an excerpt referencing Snapchat's decision to lock Trump's account on January 6, 2021, following the attack on the U.S. Capitol. It notes that as of January 13, 2021, Snapchat announced it would keep his account blocked permanently. A highlighted section at the bottom reads: 'As of 2024, Snapchat is the only platform not to have reinstated Trump.'
Oh, snap!
