Mini-'zine swap #8 (September)

Thank you for the template, this is my first time making one of these. I'll watch until I get the hang of it :)

Watching until closer! I've had so much fun with these past months!

i'm about to start working on a mini zine now! can't wait to send this out :)

Finished my Zine cant wait to get my swap zines :)

I'm still fighting with the cutting part! Grrrr. I may have to wait until the next one-I wouldn't want to disappoint my partner by doing it wrong. Dreamweaver

Don't worry too much about cutting.... just fold it in half (hamburger style) and cut halfway along the center line :)

I'm going to start on the zine now! I'm looking forward to this swap.

Watching! This is awesome and I'd love to join, but I don't quite trust myself and I wouldn't want to let you guys down :(

I know this may seem annoying, but since I'd love to get into making mini-zines (They seems awesome!) but don't want to join this particular swap -see above- is this swap one in a series?

oh MAN i haven't made a 'zine in years!!!!! i used to make and swap tons of 'zines - this is so rad! what a GREAT idea!!! gonna start working on mine right now :) :) :)

hrmmm.. is anyone else having a hard time following the cut instructions on the 'zine part?? everythign else is golden but i can't figure out how to cut this damn thing right!

um, does anyone have the template as an image? I'm on a Mac and I can't access it. I can't find a template anywhere on the Net that isn't a pdf, either.

Hollabaloo, I'm on a Mac and am viewing this perfectly fine. .doc files can be opened with Word or TextEdit. And .pdf files should automatically open in Preview.

Watching this for now. I want to join. =) I'll decide before the deadline for the signup for sure. =) Seems cool.

http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/mini_zine <- here, this link is a good one if u do not know how to make/cut them :) at least....it helped me! I will probably join 2 :).

I think I'm going to have to sign up for the next one! Thank you though! I'll definitely keep my eye out for another mini-zine swap!

youtube.com has video on making zines. maybe that will help!

Here's a little drawing tutorial:

1. fold the sheet in half lengthwise

2. open it flat, and fold the two ends into the center, unfold again

3. fold it in half, widthwise, and cut from the fold line to the center to make the center slit (see the red line)

4. fold the sheet in half lengthwise again, and pinch at the end of the slit and push the ends in, to open the cut part out (see green arrows). Fold together to form the booklet.
