Booday

these shirts are playful because it incorporates zhuyin
(a phonetic system for learning chinese) and illustrates simple phrases that children/beginners
are taught when they are first introduced to zhuyin.
I like how the only products featured in the zine, are Booday's collection of tees, wallets, chopstick holders and bags. The designs have a local flavor not merely a rip-off of US/Japanese styles like so many things in Taiwan.

Booday is also a design firm. Surprise!

I was really excited to find Booday magazine in Hua Lien.
Booday is a small independent saddle stitch magazine based in Taipei. It features a decent amount of local and international indie music, contemporary dance, photography. As for the articles, my reading comprehension is not good enough to judge their content.
