How to do things differently

This zine is a guide in a time of crisis. When you feel stuck, you can follow the green line to get some instructions, cause “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.

So observe the world upside down, walk backwards or do an elephant walk, use your left hand, or write your name with plasticine and fill your source of inspiration.

This zine was made fully in Excel, cause I also felt uninspired and needed to to do something differently.
