Sunny Disposition, 2024 Publication Concept to execution done by Erin & Chris. Special thanks to all who made our summers worth it! 2024 – Erin & Chris, Together Bright and saturated treatment to emulate the vividness of a recent memory. ① Itinerary for Chicago As inspired by our love of Google Calendar-ing our plans to death. ② Souvenir Picture Frames Proof of visitation. What screams souvenir more than a tourist picture frame? - CN Tower, Toronto, CA - Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto, CA - The Bean, Chicago, IL, USA - Chicago River, Chicago, IL, USA ③ Picnic Summer is incomplete without a picnic! The contents are packaged to mimic a packed lunch (mini picnic mat included). - Picnic Mat Folder - Photos - It’s a Picnic! Sticker Sheet - How to Picnic Zine ④ Food Zine A food review-esque concept from two big foodies. Food items on a napkin, receipts, decoupage napkins—all nicely preserved in a Ziploc food bag. 2023 — The Reunion Faded film-like images for a dated feel. A green treatment, as it was our first exposure to greenery after being in the dry winter season abroad. A timeline from the start till the end of summer inspired by shot lists. - Picture Slides 2022 — Our first ‘real’ summer A love letter to the past. ‘Dusty’ blurred blues and pinks to evoke a sense of melancholic nostalgia. A red string loosely binds the images to represent the whirlwind of events that happened. - Translucent Envelope - Postcard - Polaroids tied together

Sunny Disposition, 2024 Publication  Collecting dust under my bed are memories of a sunny disposition.  2022 It was salt, sun, and vertigo.  How can the next summer ever be better than the last? The saturated, over-exposed picture of friendship and freedom has long transformed into a faded, distant thought.  2023 Homesickness was cured by going home. Somehow, this summer was great, too, in its own way. Time passed, people changed, and a celebration of freedom became a cure for homesickness. How can the next summer ever feel as good as the last? Leaving home again stings, and I try to hold on. Now, it’s just me in a foreign land.  2024 The sweet taste of independence. Summer came again, unexpectedly so. A worry of boredom turned into a frenzy of fun. So it seems every summer can be as good as the last. It’s never the same, but it’s sunny once again.  Sunny Disposition is a personal collateral publication of Erin & Chris’ summer memories ever since graduating from polytechnic, moving away from home, and living across the world. Inspired by real memory boxes that are often old shoe boxes just sitting around, Sunny Disposition depicts the fading of old summer memories as new ones are stacked on top. While it’s a love letter to home and the people we miss, it’s also an experimental publication filled with photos, poetry, zines, frames, and stickers.
