zines

A zine (pronounced zeen) is a self-published mini-magazine.

We will focus on a simple mini-zine 8 page booklet

zine making steps: 

One of the many methods to make a zine is using an 8 page booklet.
Fold your paper "hot dog style" once.  
Fold your paper "hamburger style".  

Pay attention to this step.  
Start your cut on the fold.  Cut on the line across one rectangle.  Stop at the intersecting line.

Add illustrations and text.                         Add a title and your name.

Will your zine be a one-of-a-kind or a series?


*If you want to make a series or edition, more than one, see Ms. Williams to have photocopies made BEFORE YOU ADD COLOR!!!        

*Options include adding collage and stamping the pages
