Guide to Zine Making

Zines (pronounced “zeens,” shortened from the word “magazines”) are small, independent publications that come in the form of mini pamphlets or magazines. Zines are easy and inexpensive to make, meaning that they have long been a counter-cultural vehicle for people to make their voices heard on issues that don’t often get touched on in the mainstream media. Whether you want your zine to be a serious commentary on social issues or a light-hearted collection of cartoons, creating and distributing a zine is an incredibly rewarding experience that can jumpstart your creativity.

Zines, self-published mini magazines, are a fresh and exciting way to present photos, illustrations or ideas. Here we’ll look at how you can put together your own zine layout in InDesign, complete with page numbers, print-friendly color, and a stylish design. You’ll also learn how to export your zine artwork correctly for printing.
By the end of the tutorial you’ll have a zine template you can customise to make a more unique design.
Suitable for relative beginners to InDesign, this is a great all-round introduction to basic print design techniques.
