Description:

Let's make an All About Me mini zine!

The completed size must be no larger than quarter page (about 4.5 inches x 5.5 inches). Minimum 8 pages (including front and back covers). This zine would be perfect for a single 8.5x11 inch folded into 8 pages zine, however size and method of making is totally up to you as long as it meets the min. requirements.

Zine must include the following info:

  • An intro to who you are ("Hi my name is...")

  • Why you like to collect or make zines

  • What kind of zines you like best (DIY, recipe/cookbook, art zines, perzines, fiction zines, fanzines...)

  • Your fave style/method of making zines (cut/paste, completely digital, handwritten/drawn...)

Optional addition - consider including a list of your (self)published zines (or top list if there are too many to list), as well as contact info in case anyone is interested in contacting you to do a private zine swap with you!

The rest of the zine contents are up to you, remember it should tell the reader about who you are.

I want to get to know ALL of you here, so the number of partners will change before partners are assigned. You will be exchanging AAM zines with EVERYONE who joins this swap so be prepared to copy and send as many zines as there are people who sign up (-1).

@mpatry I love the topic of this zine!!!! I really hope that we have enough people sign up that we actually get to swap with 10 people. I love the swaps that you have been hosting for the last month!!!

Definitely agree with @soyprincesa2 !!

As for the required contents, does it have to be laid out in any specific way or is it fine to have these included in any way as long as they are included? For instance just talking about your interests and life without listing it as an intro.

You can have the info included in any way you want. Create a headline and underneath include images to describe... Write it Perzine style... Create a bulleted list for each topic.... Include multiple topics on one page or spread them out...

I'm trying to leave it fairly open to each of our styles, while making sure that it includes certain info that I personally would like to know about each and every one of you. :)

And thanks for loving my swaps! I've had a lot of fun coming up with them! <3
