Zines for Photography

Read a zine for two minutes. Write down your answer to these questions for one minute:

• What does the zine say about its creator--directly or indirectly?
• Why do you think they chose a zine as their medium?
• How do the graphics complement or complicate the text? 
• How does the zine make you feel?

Repeat!
