A Tree’s Generosity

Layout Design | Illustration | Poetry

A Tree’s Generosity is a zine that explores gratitude, growth, and rooted identity through an experimental and poetic lens.

The concept is built around a narrative of speaking directly to a tree - offering gratitude for the lessons it embodies: growth through time, standing tall through change, embracing imperfection, and the quiet generosity of giving life. At its core, the work invites reflection on personal roots and the depth that already exists within them.

The zine is designed using a strict two-tone palette, with a chromatic relationship between green and blue that reinforces both natural contrast and emotional tone. Texture and hand-drawn elements are layered throughout to echo the organic quality of bark, foliage, and natural surface variation, adding a tactile dimension to the storytelling.

The result is a visually grounded, poetic piece that merges written reflection with illustrative design, encouraging the viewer to return to their roots and recognize the quiet strength already present within them.
