This project is a response to the ISTD brief ‘The Line’, focusing on the rich history, creative freedom, and rebellious spirit of jazz music. The zine aims to capture the essence of jazz by visually representing its defiance of boundaries and ethos of freedom and improvisation.

The layout of the zine strikes a balance between chaos and harmony, with a blend of structure and fluidity. This is based on the idea that jazz is like a democracy, offering complete freedom within a mutually agreed-upon framework.
