Zines at NVC: Make & Share

What will I need?

Not much!  Scissors, glue, markers, photos or other collage materials, and a copy machine for quick duplication are probably the most important. You can make a zine as elaborate or as simple as you'd like. 

 

Printing and Layout Help

Printing 

If your zine is a standard booklet made from an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper folded in half with the text in a landscape orientation you will want to print it double sided and select flip on the short edge. This will keep your pages from printing upside down. 

Printing a zine can sometimes be tricky. Feel free to contact Librarian Rose Rodriguez, rrodriguez679@alamo.edu for assistance.

How to Make a Zine

This video shows a good example on how to fold a mini zine.  The numbering of the pages is a little different from the template that is provided on this guide.
