#Zine Team! I have the draft layout and I'm just working on our little content ad now, to share later this evening.
Anyone around to pitch ideas for a first-issue title/theme for our hopepunk, solarpunk, survivalist, rewilding nerd-out of a publication? Or should we go in raw and just call it #1?! π

Off to do other things, but PLEASE feel free to lob ideas, thoughts, etc. π
I've got that inside-cover page set up for us to add little kernels of weird wisdom or silly inside jokes, for instance, as per the goofiness of classic zines, but we could put a whole quote in, or a dream, or a prayer, or what-have you. Lots of room to fill in bits and bobs to make this zine properly eccentric!

I will talk to my printer guy after memorial day. And that weekend, I will be busy.
Let's all use the hashtag #Zine, so we can find each other.

Beautiful. I'm wondering if we should only accept black-and-white photography and comics, and save the offset colour for surrounding design touches. (And the final files will of course be sent in CMYK when ready for your printer!) #Zine

Hmmm.
I need to get back to you on file formats. It will be fairly easy to do duotones, for art and photography. But again this is dependent on my printer.

Ok these mockups look great. I agree to stick to 2 colors, one black. We can screen them to make different shades. Also the size. But not more than 64 total pages, that's 16, 8 1/2 x 11 pages. Any more require special staples. I would prefer a smaller total page number and do issue 2. Mostly for mailing issues. Also no cover stock, just good paper.
