Z! de Amsterdamse Straatkrant / street magazine

slaws has provided, and continues to provide, concepts, design, and visual production, including photography and illustration, for the covers and interior pages of Z!, Amsterdam’s street newspaper – a paper that sees the city from street level.

Z! has been sold by homeless vendors in Amsterdam and surrounding areas since 1995. Published by Stichting Z, the magazine helps these individuals support themselves through sales, while also fostering a sense of routine, social connections, and self-esteem.

Over the years, the magazine and newspaper formats have undergone various restylings.
