The One Page Zine

That is, an 8 page zine made with just one sheet of paper. This group is for anyone who wants to make, share, and trade zines made with just one sheet of paper. The paper is folded to make an 8 page zine. If you don’t know how, there are many tutorials on YouTube. Here’s one:https://youtu.be/vdrcCZJeabEYou can also share your creations here, along with any tips you’d like to pass along. Not a group for add and pass. Complete zines only. Let’s collect…See More

"I usually do my zines, (the A5 and A6, stapled) the low-to-no-tech way, like Gingernaps suggests. But some works I like to make them digitally. I've done some in a word processor, but for image it doesn't work well. Anyway, I might start…"

"There is also always the low-to-no tech version of making zines: collage, write, paint, draw, embellish directly upon a pre-folded opz template, and then make copies to distribute. My library offers free photocopying, a treasured enabling service…"

"Thank you very much for the tips, guys. @Leslie: take your time. :) @Re @William: I was thinking about that. Doing something also on the back. By the way, in case you do your zines digitally, what software do you use for page layout?"

"Eduardo, you can always print on both sides! i've done it before. sometimes the back with be a full page (the entire sheet) and the front folded into the typical format."

"I got a copy of Leslie Levenson's zine 'Say "no" to the algorithm' a while back. I loved it."

Group OwnerEduardo Cardoso commented on Maxima Strange's group The One Page Zine

"Hi everyone, Great zines I've been seeing in this group. I've been reluctant to do zines on this style, because I fear I'm wasting a whole page on the other side. But maybe I should overcome that and start creating some stuff."

Looking for Penpals, Mailartists Interested in Goth and the Romantics

I am interested in corresponding with people who appreciate the goth sensibility, dark art with lots of blacks, purples, and ultramarine blue. I'm interested in how the Goth sensibility ties in with the Romantics, such as the Bronte sisters, Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, and so forth. I like horror but not gore. Nothing pornographic, sexist, or racist. I'm looking for beauty in darkness.
