RUCKUS!

Zine, Photography, Glitch Art, Merchandise, Social Media, Edgy


RUCKUS! is an indie/alternative music zine. In the context of the zine indie/alternative refer to styles of music that share an ethos of authenticity, DIY culture, and general defiance of mainstream music norms.

The aim of the zine is to:

  • Promote indie/alternative music by celebrating the musical achievements of already established indie/alternative acts, and promote smaller, up and coming acts.

  • Explore the visual culture of indie/alternative music and the importance of supporting visuals in music.

RUCKUS! was my capstone project for my Bachelor of Design (Visual Communication) degree, and it was created from the March - October 2023. 

Below are the WIP mockups of the zine, featuring 3 of the 5 artists featured in the zine.

I also designed additional merchandise to promote the zine. These include a vinyl slipmat, stickers, and a graphic t-shirt. 

To give my zine an online presence, I decided that Instagram was the best platform to use, due to my age group being 16-30 year olds.
