Description:

I am in the mood for zine-making! And I'm looking forward to a fresh new year and more opportunities to learn and explore... so, let's share some creativity and knowledge with each other!

The Challenge

Make a mini-zine (A4/Letter) for your partners about something you know a lot about... maybe a craft, a subject, an occupation, an event in history, whatever you are passionate about and knowledgeable about. It can be something you've loved since you were a kid, or a new-to-you discovery!

The Rules

Send each of your 3 partners a copy of this zine by the deadline. Simple! Unrated newbies with well-filled out profiles are welcome! I will be checking every profile... and I will angel if I have to, but fie on the person who makes it necessary!

Some Tips on Zine-Making for Newbies

  • Making zines is super addicting! I used this video tutorial to learn how to make them.

  • The most important bit about zine construction is getting the spacing right. Make sure to leave a 1/4 inch margin around your paper, as most printers will only be able to print to that margin.

  • Also remember that, if you are printing in black and white, a high contrast in your pictures and writing is better for clear and easy to read zines!

Happy Swapping!
