Description:

Whether you are new to zines or a pro, this is a swap to share your unique mini-zine and also send each other your comments. This is a great way to start out if you are new to this or help each other with ideas and tips.

In this swap you will create a mini-zine and send to 5 partners. Can be color or black-and-white, pics or text, whatever you like! Format is also your choice - make it unique to you!! Journal style, mini-articles, photos, recipes, news, opinions, absolutely anything goes!! Newbies are welcome, we all had to start somewhere!! Just no flakers please. I will angel if needed but it shouldn't even be an issue right?? O:)

Here is a nifty template for the mini-zine (not required but an easy start!): http://www.knowledgeup.com/2007/11/05/diy-mini-8-page-pocket-zine/ (or you can use your own format if you like! hand made, printed, copied, whatever!)

Would a mini-mandala colouring book (my own drawings, no copy-pasting) be considered a mini-zine? Or would I need to have text as well?

In other words, what are the limitations where content is concerned? Is a recipe book ok? An illustrated children's story? A book of sketches or color studies? A collection of favorite quotes and poems? Do the content have to be your own original words and graphics or can you borrow?

Once I get clear on what a zine is, I'll decide if I can join.

No limitations, only your imagination :) All of the above would be perfect!!

Text is not necessary, but most like to give their 'zine a title and include their name or screenname. I like to do seperate pages with my monthly 'zine, sometimes a recipe, a playlist, a drawing/pic, movie review, poem, etc. Some people like to do all pictures or all poetry/short story, everyone is different but they are all a lot of fun!!
