Personal Shopper Zine
Personal Shopper is a short zine that explores the experiences of third-culture kids growing up in the UK, utilizing English nursery rhymes and food metaphors through supermarket items often found in culturally diverse off-licenses, that many sharing this experience would recognize.
The zine explores the challenges of the Ghanaian diaspora growing up in the UK, telling a story through familiar food items of both UK and Ghanaian origin. It delves into the connections these items have to both worlds, exploring them in a satirical, tongue-in-cheek way.
Each food item represents an aspect of the tough journey and the joys and challenges of growing up as a third-culture kid. For my final university project, I wanted to return to zine-making and further explore the application of illustration to book design.
