The Ullstein Zine is an annual publication highlighting the most influential feminist books of the year.

studio NANA developed the visual concept, designed both the print materials and digital assets, and managed the print production.

The themes explored in feminist books are pushing boundaries, fostering a shift toward new awareness and perception.

By using gradients that transition from one color to another, overlaying and blending existing shapes, we visually reflect the concept of transformation.

The centerfold of each zine is always a detachable, collectible art print.

While creating a beautiful print product, we remain mindful of sustainability. The zine is printed on FSC®-certified paper and produced using 100% wind energy. The use of loose binding and the avoidance of glue allow readers to easily recycle each component separately.
