What is a "zine?"

  • The word is short for magazine! It's kind of a mini magazine that can be bound with staples, string, or whatever you have on hand. I used the single-page folded format (so they can be emailed and printed out by others).

  • "A zine is a small-circulation self-published work of ... texts and images, usually reproduced via a copy machine. Zines are the product of either a single person or of a very small group, and are popularly photocopied into physical prints for circulation. " - Wikipedia

DIY: make your own zine

  • Here is a template that I made for generating zines in Microsoft Word (but you can make zines in any format -- handwritten, painted, on notebook paper, or whatever you have on hand that works for you!).

  • Here is a video tutorial of how to fold and cut your zine (but you can fold or cut them differently, or staple them, or do what you like!).

a note on images: i have uploaded blurry, crooked, and generally imperfect images of my work for two reasons. (1) if you're going to steal my work, i'm going to make you do a lot of heavy editing. (2) i can either perfect my photography skills or do fifty other things, and i chose column b.
