OUTCOME
The final magazine became a collectible piece that visitors wanted to hold onto, not just skim through. By balancing storytelling with visual clarity, Zarin Mag helped people connect more deeply with Persian art and history. It served as a bridge between the museum experience and personal reflection, giving readers something meaningful to take home, a small, beautifully crafted reminder of culture, memory, and the timeless world of miniature art.
REFLECTION
Creating Zarin Magazine reminded me how powerful it is to design with cultural memory in mind. Working with Persian miniature art taught me to honour the details, and let the stories shape the design instead of forcing the design onto the story. It helped me appreciate how typography, pacing, and image treatment can preserve history while making it feel alive for a new audience. This project grounded me in my roots and showed me how design can become a bridge, carrying heritage forward with care, intention, and beauty.
