dear readers, this zine should go nowhere near my design professors. the graphic design decisions in here are questionable and straight up unemployable. yet, this was one of the most rewarding projects i’ve been a part of. gwfba is an amazing group of the most hard-working and creative people at gwu, with the collaboration and commitment uncomparable to anything i’ve been a part of. special thanks to the photographers, ethan, sarah, and rachel, for crashing my laptop with the amount of insane jawdropping photos to choose from. thank you to all the models who confidently put yourselves out there for us to capture. thank you to bella and abby for facilitating and directing this wonderful group of people. shoutout to the $70 gwfba scanner, truly a generational purchase. i wish i could say more. i’m sacrificing time i could be using for my literal graduation project. whether this sacrifice was worth it or not is up to your interpretation, feel free to start flipping through. see you for george or whatever we’re calling it next semester, hung nguyen
