I’m Zoe Angel - a third year Communications Design major at Parsons School of Design. My work blends typography, illustration and color study in exploratory ways.

As the final project for my Design Studio class, I designed a brand based on making a dress up game for grown ups. The idea was people could upload their clothes and create a digital closet, then log their outfits to share with friends. All of the clothing used in these designs are from secondhand websites, as I wanted the website to enforce sustainability by encouraging its users to make use of their closet and harness their own personal style rather than following trend cycles and buying from fast fashion brands.

This is a flyer thats meant to illustrate someone with a very clear sense of personal style. I wanted to show how clothes don't have to be new or trendy in order for them to be fashionable, but rather that ones style can be much more effective when it comes of as authentic expression of their character.

Fasho "headquarters" is an experiential design, I wanted to apply the brand identity to a physical space as well as figure out how their philosophy can be enforced through experiences. So inside the space would be clothing swaps, sewing classes, tailors, and creative spaces that encourage people to express their style through illustration, photography and collage. (2025)

Bushwick Archeology began as a series of photos I took of the doors around my neighborhood in Bushwick. They serve as documentation of every era that neighborhood has gone through. The material within the book discusses Bushwick's history, Door's history, and how its each community it's been home to has expressed themselves through these doors. (2025)

The final project for my Typography class was to make a book out of a wikipedia page. I was reading 1984 at the time and was inspired by all the different cover designs for Orwell's books. (2024)

These posters were for a Typography project using songs, we were limited to 5 fonts (I chose Activ Grotesk), no color, and no imagery. Clementine by Elliot Smith tells of a man drinking away his problems at a bar, singing of lost love. The first posters draws off the mural that famously appears within his Album Cover, one that uses lines to create a sense of motion. The second uses typography to create forms, Clementine comes in the shape of a beer bottles, the text shifts from black to white to imitate the bottle slowly emptying. (2024)

Girlhood Illustrated is a hypothetical museum exhibition for children's picture books that demonstrate girlhood. I was inspired by childhood favorites like Eloise, Olivia, Pinkalicious and Fancy Nancy, all of which push young girls to be authentic to themselves. I found inspiration in my childhood closet, which was full of florals, polkadots, stripes and plaids, and had a very distinct spring color palette. The typeface for "girlhood" is hand drawn, deriving from block letters and children's book covers. (2025)

This began as figure drawing practice, but throughout the process I began to see a story emerge. In this piece I tried to illustrate personal evolution, with each woman exploring a different version. I had recently wrote an essay on growing up, focusing on brain development and how I feel like a completely different person than whoever I was a few years ago. Despite this, my memories shape me, they hold me to who I was and who I will be, the string is meant to represent that connection. (Fall 23)

Revisiting a concept that I had sketched out years before, this piece became a visualization of the anpothrocene era, with powerful industry’s as the hand who poisoing earth with cigarette smoke. The smoke represents money and it’s short lived satisfaction taken over the lives of future generations. The woman represents the majority, who see this damage, but are seemingly unable to interfere. She is based off a Greek statue, pushing the narrative of her inability to take action. I took inspiration for early 1900s advertisements, using pencil for the subject and acrylic paint for the background. (2023)

1/4 Young Shits Advertising Club holds contests for young designers with a different prompt every month. July's prompt was to help expand Swiss Miss into summer. When researching the brand I discovered their old advertisements from the 60s, and found inspiration in the Swiss Miss girl and packaging design. I based this proposed campaign on a collaboration with drag queen Trixie Mattel, who's image is distinctly pink and retro. I came up with a fruit-ified Swiss Miss mix, and designed the packaging to remix the original 60s design with a Trixie inspired color palette. (2025)
