What is a Zine?

Zine’s are self-published booklets which can made physically or using the app InDesign. Both ways are helpful in the sense that doing a zine physically allows you to cut, stick and glue the images you want in a specific or creative way. However, InDesign also helps to plan out what you layout will look like before printing the images and the booklet. Thoman Paine was one of the first individuals to first introduce the zine where he used it as a way of promoting ideas that contributed to the UK War for Independance.
