Making a Digital Zine?
What you need
What you need to make a zine:
-
Paper (any type will do! Yes, even printer paper.)
-
Writing utensils, such as pencils, markers, and pens
-
A way to combine your pages and hold them together, such as a long-arm stapler, folds, or a rubber band.
-
How will you combine the pages of your zine? Are you just folding the paper in half? Thirds?
-
How will you hold it together? Are you stapling the pages, using a simple rubber band, or binding them together?
-
-
Repurposed materials - use whatever you like and feel drawn to. Some examples include newspapers, fabric, images, drawn art, stickers, washi tape, paint chips, etc.
-
Photocopier, printer, or scanner to share your zine
-
Zines are for sharing so remember that this will be replicated. Think about what will show best as a copied text. If you are making a digital copy of your zine, you can use a scanner to upload your pages.
