Crush, Cry, Repeat
A zine about having a crush (and losing your mind a little)
A zine about having a crush (and losing your mind a little)
Crush, Cry, Repeat is a visual and emotional journey through the 13 chaotic stages of having a crush (according to us of course). From the first glance to full-blown delusion, heartbreak, rage, and acceptance. Each stage is expressed visually and conceptually, with pages flowing from one phase to the next like a dramatic playlist you’d never admit to.
The design evolves with the story: some parts are chaotic and loud, others tender, awkward or unhinged, echoing the emotional rhythm of falling for someone who may or may not know your name. It’s part design experiment, part group therapy. We made it because we’re tired of pretending we’re chill. This zine is messy, funny, painfully real, and kind of beautiful, just like every crush we’ve ever had.
It’s not that deep. But also, it kind of is.
Crush. Cry. Repeat.
