zine-fest Жердёла`25
Festival dedicated to small-published books and samizdat magazines (zines).
At the event, authors present their printed editions in different formats, and there are also artist-talks and lectures from experts. In 2025, the festival has grown a lot — now it is held in Moscow, Krasnodar, Samara, and Rostov.
I do all the design for Жердёла`25 by myself. In previous years, the basis of the design was graphics. I choose to remove all the “decorations” and let the target audience enjoy the aesthetics of the process itself, the nature of zin-culture (low-budget, non-ideal) and the material — the texture of paper. I scan the papers for each new post by hand, so the style looks lively and has the possibility to change constantly within the style.
