Global Feminisms

Today we're making quarter size zines. The layout may mess with your head. That's okay; breaking your brain while making a quarter size zine is a rite of passage!

Suggested Themes

• Other care as self care
• What it's like to be you right now
• Alternate senior thesis/final project (inspiration)
• Fanzine about your favorite or least favorite TV show, celebrity, politician, sports figure, family member

Templates

With help from Milo Miller, famed QZAP co-founder, I've developed a zine template for myself for making a quarter-size zine that's eight pages long in InDesign. (This is not a template for a one-page folded zine. Those are easy to find.)

Another pro-tip: number your pages. This will help when you are assembling your zines.
