A6 foldy zine, 8 pages
Colour laser. copy
Description:
Mini zine by which shows how we have learned to recognise patterns within texting. The playful zine imagines six short text exchanges, but shows how the pattern of the type changes with the emotion and intent of the typist, no words are included.
We now all recognise the wavering three dots (… is typing) and can often see at a glance, (when catching up with 52 messages on WhatsApp) whether someone has a lot to say, or is casually catching up with you. In Text Message Moods, ‘Venting’ shows the blocks of text required for explaining and agonising over a particular incident, whilst ‘Casual’ is a more even shorter exchange including smiley emoji.
