The Different by design 2025–6 project kicked-off today with a visit to the ‘Zines Forever! DIY Publishing and Disability Justice’ exhibition at the Wellcome Collection.

Aurelien Flatman and Eleanor Denton in Part 2, and Jess Scrivener and Grace Johnson in Part 3 are this year’s Different by design team. Aurelien, Elearnor, Jess, and Grace were challenged by tutors, Rachel Warner and Rob Banham, to explore a diverse range of topics within the design discipline, advocate for topics that might not have loud voices in design, be enthusiastic about collating and curating content, as well as exploring new formats for the  2025–6 zine. Our visit to the Zines Forever! exhibition was designed to help the team understand the zine genre further, think about the often hand-made formats of zines and how this might inform the content within, and vice versa.

Watch this space for the 2026 zine!
