I found an open source zine making tool with loads of cool templates and had a play. Thank you to everyone involved in making it; it’s so helpful and also has a really sweet and funny user interface. <\/div>\n

The first layout I made is an 8 page Z-fold.<\/div>\n

\n <\/a>I did a partial print of my bull screen on the back of the Z-fold zine so it opens to a full sheet piece. This looks really effective and I like the combination of digital and analogue.<\/div>\n

I found a bunch of other zine making resources too, including this one which has a free download for a zine template: https:\/\/goofygeekentertainment.itch.io\/how-to-make-a-quarter-size-zine\/download\/eyJleHBpcmVzIjoxNzM4MDg0NzY3LCJpZCI6NDE2NDg4fQ%3d%3d.1%2fOsWnc6BIdJxesOP6pDjiZmggo%3d<\/a><\/div>\n

I’ve fully caught the zine bug and will be making more individually and collaboratively.<\/div>\n
