The Alibi is a podcast that follows the story of a high school student accused of murdering his girlfriend and subsequently sent to jail. With no clear memory of the events surrounding the crime due to being heavily under the influence at the time, he is left struggling to piece together what happened and prove his innocence. As the investigation unfolds, the podcast explores themes of memory, uncertainty, justice, and the impact of public perception on a criminal case.

The accompanying zine is designed to reflect the protagonist’s fragmented and confused state of mind, drawing inspiration from the tone and emotional quality of the podcast interviews. Through layered visuals, disrupted layouts, and investigative imagery, the publication engages with the ambiguity at the heart of the story. The design aims to immerse readers in the uncertainty of the murder investigation, encouraging them to experience the confusion, doubt, and tension that shape both the boy’s perspective and the broader narrative.
