Showcase your photos in a ZINE

Zine Up your Life!

Last week, I received my proof for a zine. I wanted to try this one out through a printer I had heard good stories about.

This Dutch printer, drukwerknodig.nl, has templates available for InDesign. Now I don't use that, I work with an open source programme Scribus. Bit like the look of Windows 94, but does what it needs to do.

As a matter of fact, I produce the quarterly issues of Darkrooms Magazine using just Powerpoint. There - once you have created a template - all you have to do is paste everything in. Since I work with PowerPoint on a daily basis, this is a great solution for this purpose. Pictures and text, no exciting typographic highlights or complicated visual collages and so on.

Recently I’ve seen zines dropped by

Xavi Buendia

,

Andrew Eberlin

,

Susanne Helmert

,

Wesley Verhoeve

and

Dennis Sewberath Misser

to name a few. Because I see more and more zines passing by on Substack, I posted a Note last week.
