I have spent yesterday and today making a fun little zine. I tend to do a small print run and drop them off to some local comic shops and see what happens (what’s the worse that could happen, right?)
It started with the idea of using an A4 sheet to produce something, I thought “micro-fiction!” that’ll do! So I took an A4 sheet and did exactly that, I fancied the logo being right in the centre with stories wrapping round it, and it looked like the above image (you’re getting a bit of dredd in there too!)…
Then I tidied it up a bit and typed it up and dropped it in to Affinity Designer (which I’m not terrible comfortable with but figured this isn’t THAT complicated) then it hit me, I could fold the comic around the central logo
And it worked surprisingly well! In fact if you fold it right it’s sort of self standing, making it it’s own little presentation thing too.
Anyway, some hand drawn images and now we have this…
And you can have it too…
(The trick to folding it is fold the left side behind the logo, then the right side then do the bottom and then do the top and boom, a freestanding ‘zine)
