The publication's design is a striking embodiment of the concept of "hand-made," employing textured hand stitching as a central graphic motif. The use of colour plays a pivotal role in the design, reminiscent of the aesthetics found in 1930s housewife magazines. The vibrant, brightly coloured stitching serves as a vibrant celebration of feminine creativity, empowerment, and boundless potential. This lively palette is juxtaposed by the use of black and white photography, which injects a sense of stark realism into the narrative.
