1 / Brainstorm
Reflect on topics that inspire, motivate, or otherwise interest you. Zines are the perfect medium to express anything that's on your mind.
2 / Refer to Template
There are many, many forms zines can take, the one in this tutorial refers to a 2x4 grid defined by the folds of the pages. Once you've landed on your content, get to filling in the squares.
3 / Cut & Fold
Fold in half horizontally, and then again. Unfold and fold twice, the opposite way. Fold your sheet of paper in back to horizontal, and make a slit, your previous creases will guide you on how far to cut.
4 / Distribute
One powerful aspect of zines are their ability to be shared. Print as many copies as you'd like and distribute them across your community.
