SLEEP TIGHT is a mixed-media zine with a collection of “nightmare fuel” montages, illustrations, photography and other mediums of scenes from nightmares and fears. It is a thought-provoking piece for the readers to face their fears and reflect on their mental state; some of the most common factors for nightmares being stress and anxiety.
While brainstorming for this project I asked my friends about my strengths, to which one of them joked that I’m good at sleeping anywhere and anytime, sparking this idea.
Illustration and creativity is my strength, therefore I combined them to communicate my message. Despite not being used to this genre, I wanted to challenge myself just like I have throughout the course and venture out of my comfort zone.
The concept may not be easily ingestible, and may even repulsive to some. However, it could create a lasting impression on the readers through an out-of-the-norm experience.
