Got a project on the go that you never finish?
Got a set of photos that tell a story?
Why not publish them in a Zine and share with a group on here.
This is a thread that aims to get people printing and publishing their work, what you produce and how is up to you.
What is a Zine? The word is a shortened form of the word magazine and the product is a short, small format magazine, generally it is a small circulation, self-published work. For this challenge it is a collection of your photos edited together into a magazine or small book format. Self-published does not necessarily mean self-printed, you can print yourself or you can send your work off to a printing service – there is a thread about that >>here<< … For this group a zine isn't just an album or portfolio of your favourite photos or pictures of your family, the aim is to put together a magazine with images that are the product of a project or shot as a coherent set.
The idea of this challenge is that you sign up here and commit to producing a zine and posting it to all the other people in this zine group, everyone has to cover their own printing and postage costs and in return gets a fantastic zine collection from the other members of the group. The target date for posting out your zines is Saturday 25th of April with Saturday the 4th of April as a last date for people to commit which gives at least 3 weeks for printing etc.
It is recommended that your zine be around A5 paper size and contain around 8 to 12 images. Remember that you have to print and post it so you might want to check postage costs for various sizes. It's also worth pointing out that you are going to have to share your address with the other members of the group so that they can post their zines to you.
Sign-up, chat, banter, progress reports, questions and queries can all be posted in here.
You don't need to decide right now, there are a few of us who are committed to this so watch this thread, hang around, ask questions and start pulling together the content you might include, then when you are comfortable with that let us know. We may well all get hooked on this an run another opportunity to share zine later in the year.
