R U ON TIKTOK?
FOR OK COOL
i had the opportunity to work closely with one of our co-founders and a small, *elite* team to create OK COOL's first-ever zine. my background in zine making led me to become the creative director for this project, which started as a 'Humans of New York' type idea, interviewing strangers on the streets of London and asking them their opinion on Gen Z's favourite giant: TikTok.
the concept behind the zine was to look at how the digital hyper-reality of TikTok might be expressed in the medium of print; as a physical artifact – analogue photography and paper. the result was a 60 page zine, featuring photography from street photographer Harry Conway. all participants were asked the simple question, "are you on TikTok?", emanating in a range of answers from loving to loathing.
and ofc, we threw the sickest launch party to go with. this was OK COOL's first-ever event and it was a privilege to be trusted plan, organise and run it. we had cake, specially-tailored cocktails, a tattoo artist, a tooth gem artist, a dj, and many many issues of RUOTT to give away.
