Zineshort for magazine |
A zine (/ziːn/ ZEEN; short for magazine or fanzine) is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via a copy machine. Zines are the product of either a single person or of a very small group, and are popularly photocopied into physical prints for circulation. A fanzine (blend of fan and magazine) is a non-professional and non-official publication produced by enthusiasts of a particular cultural phenomenon.
The term was coined in an October 1940 science fiction fanzine. (c/o wikipedia) |
These are all sample zines. The gray box features student capstone projects that have a digital footprint reaching thousands and are now archived in their university libraries. Click on the purple words and you will see the actual zines. Photo-Essay Style (Pace University) This looks like a traditional magazine where a reporter uses images to tell a story. Analog/Cut and Paste (Yale University) This is a craft project that uses cut paper and strong design. Newspaper/Scrapbook Style (University of Illinois) This style keeps a consistent look across the entire project and really plays with and makes a statement with fonts. Informational Activism (University of Illinois) This style feels more like a website or pamphlet where the purpose is to inform. |
Above is the data report that I did for an organization. As you can see, I treat the data visually using the organization’s logo/colors rather than write a traditional written report.Community groups are also disseminating information this way.
