Season I & Season II

What happens when the deadpan absurdity of Seinfeld collides with the eerie dream logic of Twin Peaks? This zine series explores that exact question, delivering a postmodern fever dream where punchlines meet paranormal mystery and nothing makes sense in the best possible way.
This project began with a happy accident. While brainstorming, my computer spontaneously played the opening themes of both Seinfeld and Twin Peaks at the same time. The chaotic clash of slap bass and haunting synths was so bizarre that it became the conceptual spark for the series. I wanted to translate that exact feeling—where absurdity and almost-coherence meet—into a visual and tactile experience.
Designing these zines became an exercise in letting go of logic and leaning into intuition. Characters from both shows are distorted and recombined through layered imagery and warped typography. Familiar scenes take on new, uncanny meanings. The layouts defy convention on purpose, using scale, pacing, and composition to keep the viewer just a little off-balance. The result is part parody, part love letter, and part fever dream.
Seasons I and II of the zine each lean into one show's aesthetic while remixing the other. Faces are swapped. Dialogue is blurred. Iconic characters are hybridized into uncanny composites. The result is both hilarious and unsettling, an intentional exercise in cognitive dissonance.
I considered it a personal challenge to break free from client-driven expectations and use design as a playground. From print production to visual language, every choice was made to feel unpolished in a purposeful way—raw, risky, and strangely satisfying.
The series was printed and distributed by is PRESS and continues to resonate with fellow weirdos who appreciate glitchy nostalgia and offbeat storytelling.
