Zine Making

Fold paper, fill it with opinions, staple it. You're published.

A zine is a tiny self-published booklet about whatever you want. Fold a single sheet of paper into eight pages, fill them with drawings, rants, poems, or collage, and you've got a zine. No editor, no gatekeeper, no word count. Just your brain on paper.

Jak zacząć

  1. 1
    Take one sheet of A4 or letter paper. Fold it in half three times, then cut one slit to create an 8-page booklet.
  2. 2
    Search 'one-page zine fold' on YouTube if the folding confuses you — it takes 30 seconds.
  3. 3
    Pick a topic: a rant, a how-to, a collection of drawings, your hot takes on breakfast cereals.
  4. 4
    Fill each page. Mix text, drawings, and cut-out images. Messy is the aesthetic.
  5. 5
    Make 3 copies at a library or office printer. Give them to people.

Gdzie się uczyć

Plot twisty

Sposoby na urozmaicenie, gdy podstawy się znudzą.

  • Make a zine in a language you don't speak. Use Google Translate recklessly.
  • Create a collaborative zine: each person gets one page, no one sees the others.
  • Make a zine that's just reviews of water from different taps in your building.
  • Do a 'one-hour zine challenge' — concept to finished product, no editing.
  • Leave your zines in random public places like tiny paper bombs of creativity.
Notatki ADHD

One sheet of paper means the project has a built-in limit. You literally cannot overcommit — there are only 8 pages.

Ciekawostka

The zine movement exploded in the 1970s punk scene, but the concept goes back to sci-fi fans in the 1930s who called them 'fanzines.'
