On zines

 

I started making zines again. I made some in the early days of the pandemic, but then stopped. I recently restarted making them because I was inspired by all the current zines posts of Austin Kleon. (You can see his here.)

Kleon’s are mostly the one sheet of paper kind you see in the image above. If you want to have a low key fun thing to make, I recommend making a zine of that kind.

Need more info? Here’s some links on how you can make your own, as well as some other good material:

• • A good primer on zines is here.
  • More on how to make them, here.
  • This is a technical zine on networking. I like it. Here are more technical zines: shop.bubblesort.io
  • More good stuff from the creator of the networking zine, including why she sells zines, and here how she made a zine.
  • If you want to take a more professional approach to making zines, see: How to print zines
  • Also good is this: How to Make a Zine (with Pictures) from wikiHow.
