Zine

A zine is pretty much a smaller version of a publication that is put into circulation, still contains the standard text and images, but never really commercial. Contains more self published work of an interest to the artist.

Zines can come in all different types of formats, from computer-printed text to comics to handwritten text. Print remains the most popular zine format, usually photo-copied with a small circulation. Topics covered are broad, including fanfiction, politics, art and design, ephemera, personal journals, social theory, single topic obsession, or sexual content far enough outside of the mainstream to be prohibitive of inclusion in more traditional media.

Really looking forward to this brief as i have a handful of ideas that i have been thinking of for a long time. I love this way of expressing yourself in a 'free' editorial way. Just been looking on the web for a few that takes my fancy and the way they have completed their ideas. Here are some of my favs.
