Doctored is a zine series that explores the concept of ‘iterative design’ through the central theme of corruption.

Unlike databases and libraries which are meticulously organised, Doctored is a publication filled with media from crashed, unkept and corrupted archives. Collections that were once readable and recognisable, are now damaged beyond repair.

The project dives into ideas of order and disorder, and the paradox, which suggests that increasing order simultaneously creates disorder. Through heavy use of layered elements and collage, Doctored presents an organised, yet disordered series.

Doctored is by far the most experimental project I have worked on. It challenged me in many ways, and forced me to embrace imperfections.
