This project started as a gift for a friend who loves this show, but along the process, it evolved to an entire publication dedicated to the sitcom. In terms of concept, the goal was to create something related to the series and its context. As the series takes place in the ‘90s and the technological era is just beginning, it was preferable to create a paper publication. Another reason was that the characters frequently read magazines, newspapers and even do crosswords, so I intended to re-create that kind of old-fashioned entertaining habits.

One of the many traditions on “Friends” was having the group playing games together or hanging out at the coffee shop all the time. Therefore, I decided to design a publication of games that could be played alone or with friends, and possibly at a coffee shop, just like they used to do on the show.

Graphically, the layout as a bit of the digital aesthetic combined with stickers and a gradient background bringing a hint of the ‘90s. The reason for choosing purple as the background gradient color was to resemble the purple walls of Monica’s apartment.
