push and pull is a mini zine exploring visual tension and depth via film photography
the large scale retreats to create a broad sense and perspective of the space and process. the pull. the small scale takes knowledge of the space and moves the eye forward, exploring finer details. the push. moving between these perspectives provides a grand sense of the space, then follows up with more intimate details.
“the concept of push and pull can be applied in various fields of design, from graphic design to web design, architecture and photography.” everything is connected.
