I want more people to make ZETTES! so i made this deconstructable template kit. what's a zette? it's a zine cassette! basically a zine in little box form. you can design box art for your game, music, or digital brushes, and stick 'em in there on a USB stick, or make a tiny jigsaw puzzle or DIY papercraft project, or miniaturize a ttrpg or board game and make it portable. so many possibilities............ so make one ok!!!
Finally finished making my zine! Made this as my first zine to distribute around for free, and also have some free printable PDF downloads that people can get to here (like leads to a Google Drive folder): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1E7Xpy9GEV-flmmRIiH2GppuN77yqC9Ap
FAQS:
What the heck is a zine?
A: Zines are self-published, small circulated booklets and/or works that can vary…
how to fold a one-page zine
Print out a free copy here.
Zine Libraries please feel free to print out this zine and add it to your collection.
contact me to let me know
See art here.
some quick notes: this can work for a lot of paper sizes, i used both 8.5x11 and 11x17 but it can work for a lot more sizes. i also did my art digitally and had it printed because i made a lot of these but my first one, i did with some pen and marker you can and should draw right on paper. if you are, though, i recommend folding first so you can see the orientation for each page! like, at least sketch that way. it'll make things easier in the long run!
for those interested in printing and creating your own zine! jpegs of the template for the hockey zine here, link to download from drive (+ more info on that) and a tutorial below!!
if you can print from somewhere that supports psd files (also in the drive) i highly recommend, to preserve the colors better (: these appear weird as rgb color profile right now but Should print properly as they'll convert to cmyk. let me know if thats not the case!
also, i'm. not charging for any of this. but instead if you're able to, please consider donating esims for gaza or in some way supporting those in palestine (even just doing your daily arab.org click!!)
again, if you have somewhere to print psd files that is what i would Highly Recommend, the colors and quality will just turn out better, i think.
here is the link to a drive folder where u will find these files as well as tutorials (both specifically for this zine and for this type of zine in general)
some further info not included/expanded on in that drive! :
this is meant to be 8x8in when laid flat (not folded) and the files there should print as such, you wont need a special printer or anything, i literally just used the normal library printer on printer paper.
you will need to cut off the edge around the printed bits as straight and close to the edge as possible, as well as the 4x4 empty square in the middle.
if you're able to line them up, you can print these back to back as they are. if you can't, or want the zine to be a little thicker, you can just print them on separate pages and glue them back to back (the way theyre currently oriented, if that makes sense) and fold it like that. that's how i did it!
there are 24 image slots, but if you want to make your own you will only make 6 images. these images will then be split up into 4 sections (theres an example of this in the tutorial folder) in order to be folded, which is why there's 24 little sections.
i would recommend folding around every square of an image before doing the Actual Final Fold, it'll be soooo much easier to manipulate it from there imo. then, once you have done the final fold, taking something and creasing around the edges of the zine on each page you flip to will help it be easier to move, as well.
also this is the video i originally used to learn to make these (but found to be a little confusing/not friendly to those making their own)
if theres anything i missed/is unclear/doesn't work, please feel free to send me an ask or message about it!!! i hope you all enjoy and make ur own zines <3
