ZAP.OUTDOORZ ‘26
ZAP Outdoorz is a festival that brings together top electronic and punk acts from the DMV plus out-of-region favorites for a weekend campout in Appalachia. Our mission is to bridge worlds and move bodies, embrace our raw edges as humans, and ignite our collective energy. Organic by nature and intimate by design, we are at once a reverie and a homecoming, an annual celebration of what has been, what is, and what ought to be.
I am currently designing their identity for their 4th year of operation. I am using textures taken from a Lumber Yard here in Philly that a friend of mine runs a store and curates from up in Manyunk for the background graphics. This is the same lumber yard that will host the ZAP satellite fundraiser event that I am also helping out with in terms of organization and collaboration.
I will share a mini brand guide when the project is fully over as this is ongoing for a bit.

The Philly satellite event announcement flyer.
Included Billy Penn here for Philly landmark relevance. I have options that include Liberty Bell integration but ultimately wasn’t picked. May add in a b-roll type of area at the end.
Introduced the ZAP team to Kwan of Vicarious Love who also curates Umbria Arts and helps with the Against The Grain series , and Sophia of the House of Chicks collective and event series. For the past two years I had mentioned to the ZAP team if they needed help making a Philly satellite happen to let me know and this year they we’re in. In an effort to bridge the gap between the Baltimore and DC scenes ZAP calls home and get them to expand their community to Philly’s bustling music scene and dance culture, I used my expertise of the city and those making things happen in it to make this wonderful worlds colliding collaboration come to life.
Upcoming work : Website design update / Official lineup flyer for the fest (Phase 2) / street team flyers / branding pack
