Project Recap: JoyConBoyz Forever Zine

Project Involvement:

I was part of a small team that created a zine in memory of deceased Internet Personality Etika (Desmond Amofah).  JoyConBoyz Forever was a nonprofit, collaborative project to celebrate the life of Desmond “Etika” Amofah. We compiled and designed a paperback 7.5x6" “zine” or art book featuring over 125 original art pieces and messages from fans of Etika’s to keep the memory of him alive, as well as creating something that fans can physically have with them to remember him by. All proceeds were donated to NAMI, a mental health organization.

Specifically I helped with technical support regarding the formatting of the zine as well as creative input to the designs and arrangement of art and write-ups.

We reached are purchase goal and got support from Etika World Network, an impressive accomplishment for the team.

Hello Everyone!

I've got some news regarding recent updates with the zine.

Here it is! The pre-production copy of the zine has been printed and is in my hands. Everything looks good so that means the full batch of books are being printed at this very moment!! pic.twitter.com/i3Johg0Jdi
