Make a Zine!: When Words and Graphics Collide

Comments for Make a Zine!: When Words and Graphics Collide

Good, useful information - about postal rates, printing techniques, and how to physically construct your zine, including details like getting a clean photocopy from a cut-and-paste layout that could only have come from experience. It also discusses selling and promoting your work in a way that makes these sometimes queasy-making topics feel empowering. Thorough and detailed. Read this and make a zine! Katie Haegele, La La Theory
Authoratative, without reading like a textbook. More than enough experience to backup this advice. Steven Svymbersky, Quimbys
Answers all the questions about starting up a zine project. R. Seth Friedman, Factsheet 5
Gives the best introduction to layout, typography, stats, and design I've ever seen. John Marr, Murder Can Be Fun
20 years ago, when I was young and the Soviet Union was still struggling for communism, I co-published with my friends a jazz zine. It was real SAMIZDAT -- an illegal self-published independent zine. We printed it on the electric type writer with print out of 50 copies or so. It was dangerous but it was passion. Today I am working for a popular computer magazine -- and it is just a good job, not more. So, make your zines, ladies and genlemen. And I believe computers & Internet someday destroy any ...totalitarian state. Alexander Petrochenkov

Spambot test:

Guess the letters and numbers (passphrase riddle) -- 2 chars before J, 0 chars before X; 1 chars before small N and small 'K' +3 letters , small 'B' +3 letters & → retype that here
Because of ridiculous spambots, you must prove you are a human by retyping this scrambled number/letter scheme. Once proven human, you can post freely for a month.
