What is a Zine? (Tons of Examples!!)
Рет қаралды 136,301
7 жыл бұрынIn this episode of Nick Exposed we cover what a zine is, go through a few of my favorites, and talk about why you should make one as well.
I get asked asked questions about zines on a daily basis through facebook, youtube and instagram. So we are doing an entire series revolving entirely around the topic of zines. If you have any zine related questions, be sure to leave them in the comments below, and I will do what I can to answer them.
I by no means claim to be an expert on the topic, however I experienced quite a bit through the process of making my first zine, and am happy to share the highs and lows of what I experienced.

I'm really amazed by the quality of today's zines. I was part of a fanzine community in the early 1990s, and it was a lot of fun, but considerably lower tech than today. Even the original release of Microsoft Publisher was primitive compared to today. Many of us either used simple word processors or typewriters to assemble text, and then use scissors, tape, glue and marker pens to create zines. It was a real thrill to create something that could be seen by others (even if it was a small audience). Fortunately, the videogame magazines of a time were big supporters of the zine community, and featured regular reviews in every issue (a number of us even started pro writing careers as a result). That said, I'm envious of the professional look of the zines shown here, and it does give me hope for my own indie publishing plans. Quick question: do today's "faneds" also offer digital versions of their zines? It seems like a no-brainer to offer a download via Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Kobo. Great video!

Hey thanks for the comment Daniel! The hands on approach of the early 90's sounds like it was super thrilling and a lot of fun! But like you said, I am super grateful that we have the ability to print such quality self published books now days! I know a couple people who offer their zines as free downloads, but I think the collective thought might be that the zine is all about offering printed work to viewers. Thats my thought at least. A pdf would be a super easy option to make available, especially being most of the zines get sent to the printers in pdf form anyways. But at least for me, I would rather people approach it by being held in their hands. Zooming at the elbows vs the pinch of a finger. Thanks again for your thoughtful comment and question!

Daido Moriyama and his friends in Japan made raw and grainy pictures and established a term for grouping them together called Provoke. They printed their pictures in small offset presses and in crude copiers with glossy paper and arranged these pictures in books for permanence. His books were very short run and now are collectors items!. In an interview Daido called himself a printer foremost rather than a photographer. In one of his exhibits he placed his printed pictures in trays and the attendees walked through the trays and chose the order and the actual pictures. At the end of the "production" line Daido perfect bound the pictures and the "curators" could individually choose from three silk screened covers that were stapled to the self made book! You can call this one to one marketing, or print on demand, but in an era where short run printing was hard and digital printing was not in the near sight it makes you think that the real concept was to be immersed in art and making a thing using ones hands! Thanks for the show!

Thats some great thoughts Robert! I am a huge fan of the Provoke Era. In fact just last month I visited the exhibition being held at the Chicago Institute of Arts. Quite possibly the greatest exhibition I have ever witnessed. Also I am so happy you brought up the Daido Zine workshop where the viewers built their own copy. I reference that video so often when talking to people about challenging the concept of what sequencing and book building should be. Have you gotten a copy of the Provoke Era book, its the same one they use for the exhibition catalog. Its gorgeous! I really want to pick a copy up for my collection soon. I feel like you and I have a lot of similar influences. I really appreciate that. Thanks for your thoughtful comments!

Thanks for your kind words! I studied in the USA in the fair city of Boston! Also, i run a family printing shop where we cater to business forms customers and also flexible packaging, so ink and solvents run in my blood stream. But I was taught early in my life photography by dad who is still alive and well at his 86 years of age! I am mainly a film only amateur photographer of natural landscapes and man made structures to further our calendar printing business! Today the pictures that I like to make the most are from my sons. One is 13 years of age and the other 3! I look forward for your shows and to learn more about the creative process of photo books and zines!

I have just begun thinking about making a zine. It seems like an extremely daunting task all around. I have so many things that I need to figure out. Use existing material or shoot dedicated material? How much material do I need? Which film format(s)? Color or b&w? What’s it gonna cost? Would anyone even want to pick up my stuff at all? I am very bad at self marketing, too. Looks to me like a dive straight into the deep end - and it kind of scares me.

@NickExposed 7 жыл бұрын
Hey Jeremy, thanks for the kind words and comment. There's probably a couple explanations for the majority of them being black and white. First this is my personal collection and I tend to gravitate towards black and white work in general. Second a lot of the film zine community seems to be black and white based in my experience. Third printing black and white can be substantially cheaper than printing full color. Hopefully that answers the question well enough. I think its probably a combo of all 3 reasonings

@NickExposed 6 жыл бұрын
Totally! You can start off by narrowing your pool of images down by either, geography, subject matter, timeframe or color/tonal palette. So for example, my first zine was focused on Chicago from a series of visits my wife and I had made from the year or two previous to laying it out. The one Im working on right now has two constraints. First of all its a body of work created entirely in 2016, and second of all its all focused on my home town of Grand Rapids MI. Once you have it honed down to these constraints then I suggest you give yourself a creative problem or question to solve or present. Again for example, my first zine on Chicago was based around the question of "What would a jazz song look like composed with images of Chicago". Chicago has a rich history in Jazz and Blues, and my creative process is very much driven in the same way. But asking myself that question really helped direct which photos to use, and which photos paired up with which. The zine Im working on right now of all my hometown images from last year is focused around the idea of a mixtape. There will be an a-side and b-side, and right now Im asking myself what each side will look like and what kind of "songs" it will contain. If that makes any sense. haha. Obviously your zines dont need to be musically driven (however, noticing a guitar in your profile photo, maybe they will be). Its more so about giving yourself the creative limitations of a question or problem to solve that will help this whole process come together well for you. Hope that helps. If you have any more questions, or would like me to clarify on anything, definitely feel free to reach out!

@NickExposed 6 жыл бұрын
Thats a difficult topic to cover, there are so many choices, and its really all down to preference. Give standard weight uncoated paper a go and then start working from there. I really enjoy satin finish papers, but not everything prints well on them. So it comes down to what type of tones you are printing, what print process (bnw or color), what saturation you are looking for in the colors. One of the nice things about working with a local print shop is I can have them print a sample spread on a variety of different papers, and then I can choose from there which one I would like to move forward with. I would suggest you do the same. It will make your life much easier than trying to guess which paper stocks you will prefer. I hope that helps to get you moving in the right direction :)

I would suggest doing it for a couple reasons. 1. It forces you to interact with your work in a fresh new way and challenges you to offer it in a concise and meaningful order. 2. It offers the way you think about and through your artwork to the rest of the world, opening up a larger dialog than sharing images on social media would normally do. 3. It can be a very enjoyable and rewarding process to build a Zine out even if you simply print one copy or enough to hand out to friends and family. Have fun with it!

If you're asking bc you want to find one that does that, I'm not sure but you might be able to search that either on Google or in some kind of zine search website. If youre asking bc YOU want to do that when YOU make a zine, then it doesn't matter what other zines do, bc the more unique the better. Especially if your zine is about photography, but even if it's not specifically about photography that'd be a really cool good idea.

Hey David! I know the big companies like blurb do so. It’s been a couple years since I’ve done deep research but I wouldn’t be surprised if more haven’t popped up since. I imagine you’re thinking print on demand and drop shipping? Otherwise you could print at a company or your choice and then ship the package to a fulfillment center and let them work out your shipping for you. I think whatever option you find is going to cost you regardless so research it out and see what works best with your vision. Cheers and good luck!!

Hey Oliver, thanks for your kind comment! So you are saying that you just want to make a single book for yourself, but are only coming across places that require minimum orders of 100 or more? Perhaps you could look into places like blurb, I believe they work internationally. You can set up a book on there and print a single copy. Otherwise you could look for some small mom and pop shops in your town and reach out to them to see what your options are. Hope that helps.

Oliver Heuschele try “wir machen druck”. They print as many as you want, even if it’s just one copy. They also have an awesome selection of paper, bindings and sizes. That’s where I print and bind my projects.

That was fantastic Nick...Thanks. I have just got back into shooting film after picking up a mint condition Practika MTL5 , I also shoot digital and use film simulations in the Nik software. Are Zines strictly film only because I would love to put one together using both formats. I hope thats not a dumb question... Thanks again... Tim. ( trosenthal636 on Insta )

Hey Tim, I just responded back to your other comment. Im glad to hear you are getting back into shooting film. Ive never shot with a Practika myself, but they look like a fun fun camera to use! And its not a dumb question at all. I could see where it might seem like it, being 99% of the zines I have in my collection are film photography based. They arent specific to film by any means, but being the community I am in and serve, I tend to collect more film based work more than anything else. In fact my most recent zine is all iphone photography. Thanks again for the comments! Hope to see you in more of the conversations :)

Iain Hamilton-Cummings it's your lucky day. They had all officially sold out, but I just found two of them in the back seat of my car that had broken down a month ago. I forgot that I had them in there. Shoot me a DM on Instagram and I'll give you payment details.

what paper did you use?
@NickExposed 10 ай бұрын
For my first zine I used a satin finish paper. Not sure the weight of it at this point it’s been many years. For my second zine I had them use just standard copy paper to go with the overall intent of the zine to look like a notebook. Hope that helps.

Magazines are about making profit. Zines are more about just making something. Their existence is motivated by creative impulse more than anything else.

@@CassandraDarling A magazine is a magazine, some are for profit, some are not. Plenty of clubs, societies and enthusiast produce magazines which are not for profit, some are just a few pages, some fancy colour spreads. Just call it by its proper name, a magazine. 'Zine' is just unbelievably tacky.
