Zines are small-circulation , usually self-published, publications that come in many shapes and sizes.
Generally zines that arrive in my mailbox are copied onto white or colored paper using the cut and paste method. This is similar to scrap-booking, each page is created using printed/written text and graphics or photos and then copied and reproduced using a copy machine (it’s a plus to work somewhere with a xerox). There are also zines who use color printing and there even are a few who hand write and illustrate each and every zine. <3
