Noise & Murk are two states where clarity dissolves and silence fades away. They might evoke emotions, visuals, physical sensations, or something entirely abstract. Each of us brings our own understanding to the words шум and муть. Each student is invited to find their own visual interpretation of these words — literal or metaphorical, abstract or concrete. The result will be a zine/publication in which a diversity of perspectives and approaches merge into a unified field of associations.

Questions: — What do I feel when I encounter these phenomena? — If these phenomena could speak, what stories would they share? (humanization) — In what ways do they reflect me? — What happens when vision becomes blurred and sound turns noisy?

Feature Mono is a monospaced typeface inspired by 1960s computer fonts, updated to meet today’s design standards. It was chosen to highlight the book’s modern feel and clear, structured layout. The font brings a steady, rhythmic quality to the typography and creates a striking contrast with the students’ work.

For photo processing, we chose a style that mimics printing on a risograph. To do this, we ended up converting all the images to duatone mode using blue and white colours, and added noise on top of the photos, which creates an uneven texture, as when printing. Thus, all the photos on the site support the style of our zine.
