I Made a Zine!!! ✂️✨🌈
Рет қаралды 13,210
Күн бұрынHello lovely people! This video has been a LONG time in the making - it's one of the biggest projects I've ever done!
For my undergraduate major project, I decided to make my very own zine. I organised and led a community zine workshop and curated all of the artwork into a printed publication. It's been a journey, but I'm so proud of the final result!
📢 Note: I do have a limited copy of physical zines left over! If you'd be interested in a giveaway, leave a comment below...
⏰ Timestamps: ⏰
0:00 - Introduction
1:55 - BEFORE: Introduction to zine history and culture, background on the project
5:01 - THE PLAN: The evolution of my idea
8:31 - DURING: Preparing for the workshop, DIY zine supplies, running the workshop and collating the artwork
11:54 - ZINE TIME: Putting the zine together - I used InDesign but forgot to mention this! I also unbox the zine which is totes emosh 😭
16:30 - THE REVEAL: A flick through the zine itself!
17:12 - AFTER: Reflection on the project and ideas for the future.
🌈 Online version of the zine! 🌈

I totally agree that 'doing something with your hands' is a great solution to doom scrolling and getting out of your head. Totally a way to calm people! I'm a writer usually, but recently I've been very invested in zines - which I find very meditative

Thank you A LOT! I previously published my comics in a book form but it is just too expensive, but I want to continue to make my short story/comics. I stopped because I got dejected over the costs. This inspires me (with resources) to do it IN SMALL DOSES! Thanks a ton, from the United States!

I read through the online version and it is absolutely amazing! Every page is a masterpiece and appealed to me on an aesthetic and on an emotional level, coming from a teenaged art + craft enthusiast. I've definitely found art and craft as an escape from my mental struggles and my chronic illness. Thank you for creating this!

I've had so many of your videos pop up on my recommendation page this week, and they've all been so incredibly engaging! It's so easy to tell how enthusiastic and passionate you are about what you make that I can't help but be interested as well :D

Woohoo!! Honestly the whole ethos of this project was that it doesn’t matter if the art ‘looks good’, it’s all about whether you’re enjoying it and get something out of it! Let yourself free!! Also, so much of zine culture is about reclaiming imperfection!

Really great content, love your enthusiasm and passion. But maybe it's because i am a bit older...well quite a lot older than you, I come from an age where the punk zines of the time were seriously hand made/ DIY products, and I always think of " Zines" on like you said old newspaper type paper stock, certainly a matt finish?! That's just my personal opinion! Otherwise really well done!

Im sorry but a dissertation is also brand new too. My course was social humanities and for the dissertation we had to come up with an whole new concept with new reasoning that had never been done before. We could regurgitate infirmation but it had to be original. Zines are not new either in their concept. Both have to be original. I'm not against zines btw. Im an anarcho punk n create zines myself. My dissertation was also on how the law is created to keep the poor suppressed and the rich protected.
