Make a Zine!
Make a Zine!
Your assignment:
Choose one of the common types of zines (art, DIY, fanzine, literary zine, mini comic, personal, political) and create the zine with environmental justice for SW Fresno as your topic.
- Cover page – title, author, AND cover art
- Six pages of content
- Back page - QR code to more information, author bio, OR some other relevant extra info
A zine (pronounced ZEEN) is short for "fanzine" and is usually a small-batch, independently published work that circulates less than 1,000 copies. Anyone can be a zinester (aka "someone who creates a zine"), and most people make zines for the love of creating rather than for seeking a profit. In general, a zine is a pamphlet-like publication that can include text, images, artwork, found objects, or any other creative material that helps to express the author's message.
Zine Types
Zine Types
Zines cover a wide range of topics and include many different genres. Some of the most common types of zines include:
Art zines: Contain artwork, photographs, collages, and artwork created by the author. Considered art in itself.
Compilation zines: Created in collaboration with others. Usually, a topic is decided, then a call goes out asking for submissions.
DIY zines: Teach and inspire readers to do-it-yourself, kind of like a manual.
Fanzines: Share information about something you love or about a specific fandom.
Literary zines: Include a self-published collection of fiction, essays, and/or poetry.
Mini comics: Feature creator-made comics that are self-published, not necessarily small in size.
Personal zines (aka "perzines"): Focus on the author's life, opinions, and thoughts.
Political zines: Deal with politics, social justice, historical movements, and contemporary issues.
