Samples of Zines


From looking at these zines, i can see that every one of them stands out for their unique and individual appearance. Personally for me, i don't think i would be as persuaded to purchase the A3 black and white zine (far right) as for me it would be too big to just have a quick flip through on the train or bus home for example. We want a size that our readers are able to pull out anywhere for a quick, humorous read!


From this image, i'm really inspired to perhaps do our front cover on a different media from paper.
The bottom left zine is my favourite on this, i specifically like the hand drawn rough border going down the left side of it, and although it's not perfect, it gives the front cover a much better structure and clearer image than the others.


This is a lovely idea for any zine i think. It could be adapted to our zine in that we could have a cage of 'annoying creatures' that have BURST out and into the world travelling the country getting opinions of other people on what annoys them, allowing them to share their thoughts on our website, which we can then run features on every issue updating people on where they've been and what opinions they've discovered.
