and any other fun things you might want to stick on to your zine-string, glitter, confetti, whatever.










































Step 1- Your first draft: (due next week at beginning of class)

• Your first draft will be done the old fashion way: cutting, pasting and drawing. First print out the images and text from your research (they can be printed in black and white.)
Place and Paste them onto paper that has been folded to be the final size of your zine. (1/2 a letter size, vertically aligned.)
• Print out your logo and/or a graphics you created and include this in your zines layout (You may want to print out several sizes to play with scale.) You can also sketch out graphics and later recreate them in illustration.
• With a pen or marker draw out how you will place your running commentary and any research you choose to include.
