Grrrls to
the Front
BOOKLET DESIGN
Grrrls to the Front is an educational booklet that introduces readers to the core ideas and history of Riot Grrrls. Rooted in punk music, feminism, and DIY culture, the Riot Grrrl movement was driven by young women using their voices, often through zines, to speak out on issues like sexism, identity, and empowerment.
The design of the booklet draws directly from those original zines, which were handmade, imperfect, and deeply personal. To reflect that aesthetic and attitude, the piece features hand-drawn doodles, rough-cut photos, paper textures, and a mix of expressive typefaces inspired by the era.
The result is a modern, informative booklet that captures the raw energy of Riot Grrrls while presenting their story in a way that’s accessible and engaging for new audiences. It’s both a tribute to the movement’s past and a tool for learning about its lasting impact.
