Zine Workshop

Today's workshop was all about Zines and how to make your own, publish it yourself and start distributing! Our tutor for the session (whose name I have forgotten) gave us a small booklet informing us all about zines and how to make one. As it is nearing Christmas, I decided to make my zine about all the things that make me feel festive this time of year. I ended up with a zine named 'Cheer'.

I had originally created a different design for the first page, but it felt as if it did not go well with the rest of the book and did not look as good, so I removed it and replaced it with an advent calendar page.

Most of my time went into creating this zine, however I gave a more simplistic one a go once this one was finished. I wanted to produce one simply and quickly, and I am actually rather fond of what I created. It was inspired by the simplicity in some of the examples I was shown today. I named this zine 'Zine Green' and in it I document all the plants I have ever grown and cared for in my life (which isn't many).

Overall, I feel that this was a very productive workshop!
