cover of a small folded zine. the title is CROWD NOISE.
page 1 of the zine: four featureless people with their mouths open. there is a large speech bubble reading "Community means no one is disposable and" covered up by two smaller speech bubbles reading "CROSS TALK" and "LAUGHTER" page 2: another row of featureless talking people.
