Spill. : a zine on interpersonal gossip

Spill. is a zine that explores gossip, specifically its use as a positive tool for communication across different cultures, generations, and identities. Through various media, including writings, interviews, and illustrations, this zine aims to highlight how the common negative
perception of gossip is limited and hides the ways in which gossip can be used to protect others, strengthen relationships and build camaraderie between marginalized individuals.

Spill. debuted in May 2026 with an accompanying exhibition titled Sit ‘n Spill.

Spill. is RISO printed, cut, and spiral-bound by me.

For the design, I wanted the zine to pop with color and personality, which is achieved by the florescent pink ink and combination of typefaces. Having a dramatic layout was extremely important to me, as someone who enjoys typesetting and fun layouts, but it still had to be readable and flexible to fit the tones of the various writings it contains.

“Where does gossip happen?”

This question guided my exhibition plans and led me to the idea of the table with multiple stools. This grew into a tea party with the zine at the center. Instead of a traditionally floral/spring tea party aesthetic, I wanted the display to compliment Spill.’s visual language: cool, dramatic, and playful. Guests were encouraged to sit at the table while they flipped through the book, gossiped with other guests, or both.

By the end of the first night,
Spill. had completely sold out.
