OVERVIEW:
Each year, VIRTUE publishes an internal zine that highlights the artwork, photography, design, and written pieces created by our creative teams. The zine gives everyone a chance to make things purely for themselves, outside of client work, and reconnect with the joy of creative experimentation. This edition, titled Comfort in Chaos, explores the beauty found within disorder and the creativity that can rise from it. The art direction was inspired by early Y2K internet aesthetics, filled with messy desktops, pixelated graphics, and sensory overload that feels both nostalgic and intentionally chaotic. To promote the release, with a $500 budget, we created a :15s and :30s spot filmed on a Sony Hi-8 camera across Brooklyn. The grainy visuals and handheld energy captured the spirit of the zine and its celebration of chaos as a form of comfort.
