Beyond The Backboard

More than a sport, basketball is a cultural force. This zine is an original concept that explores the intersection of basketball and fashion, with a focus on the NBA’s influence on contemporary style. Through a series of dynamic, thoughtfully crafted collage layouts, the design emphasizes the span of basketball’s impact—from streetwear and sneaker culture to broader fashion movements. Layered imagery, typography, and composition work together to visually capture how the game extends beyond the backboard, shaping modern visual culture and identity.
