A zine is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via a copy machine. The idea behind a zine is that you express your intentions in some sort of “pamphlet-esque” or “book-like” form.

Whats the difference between a zine and a magazine?

Although the word “zine” is derived from “magazine,” the two publications are significantly different. A zine is often made by a single person or a small group of individuals whenever they feel like it, as opposed to a magazine which needs an editorial team and a fixed publishing schedule.

In short, a zine is a Do-It-Yourself pamphlet publication that can be endlessly reproduced. Zines are usually not unique, one-of-a-kind creations.  Zines range from seriously reverent political treatises to wildly idiosyncratic personal musings. Many zines are like diaries or letters, and many others are like mini research papers. 

Examples of Zines:

Topic of my zine

We are creating a zine on the topic of St Malo. We will be using our images that we took during the St Malo trip that we edited. Also, we used dreamstudio and photoshop to experiment with producing AI images. I used my St Malo images to do this so depending on all my final outcomes, i might use them for my zine.
