How to make your own mini fanzine

 

What you need:

 

A4 paper (white or colour), pens, scissors, glue, newspapers and magazines.

 

RECTO:

 

1. Fold an A4 in half, three times until you get 8 panels.

2. Number your pages, bottom: 8, 1, 2, 3. Turn round, top: 4, 5, 6, 7. See picture right:

3. Fold in half 1 against 2 and 5 against 6.

4. Cut along panel 1 on top of 6. Stop.

5. Unfold: you ought to have cut the middle along 1/6 and 2/5.

6. You can write your text by hand on each panel or type your copy on a computer in a column sizing your text to fit each panel, print, cut.

  7. Write/glue your text and illustrations on each panel                      following  the page numbers.
