dreaming in zines

Zine Dreams is the sister blog to ZineSubmissions ! Stay updated on new zines and events.

Portland Zine Symposium consisted of having lots of interesting conversations, admiring all the cute people in fabulous clothes and frequently with interesting tattoos and other cool things too, seeing some old friends and making some new ones, and picking up a ton of awesome zines even though I already have a pile of zines I haven’t read yet at home–so y'know, basically the way every single zine fest I’ve ever attended has been, but that doesn’t make it any less of a swell time! <3 <3 <3 ZINES <3 <3 <3

ON ZINES+DOUJIN+BOOKS: a small guide on the process of printing and making books.

Hello, in regards to a few questions we have gotten about printing zines and how and where, we decided to put up a little guide!

We’ll do our best to answer you, but let’s start by saying that this is not a 1000% foolproof guide on how to make zines and prints: in the end, it’s all about experimenting and finding out what works best for you and for the specific project you’re working on. This post is based on both our personal experiences with zine and book making, as well as several companies we have worked with/bought from (we are in no way affiliated with these companies). We also use image examples in this post, most are our own, and all are credited but in case you own one of these and would like us to take it down, feel free to message us. Without further ado! ~~~ ✪Table of contents of this guide!✪  I - Making Prints ☾ 1 - Files Ready for Printing;   - dpi;  - B/W/COLOR;  - CMYK/RGB;

2 - Glossy vs Matte;   3 - Paper Weight;   - What paper to choose? 4 - Choosing a Printing Service;  - Printing at local shops; - Paper cutting; - Printing online; II - Making Zines ☾ 1- Theme 2 - Format 3 - Number of Artists 4 - For larger projects  - Open calls;  - Profits; 5 - Choosing the Right Paper 6 - Working with InDesign 7 - Printing Your Zine 8 - Some examples. III - In conclusion ☾ 1 - Inspiration or why going to fairs is important! 2 - Other links + help 3 - Afterword ~~~

~~~ Taking that into account, here is some general advice you might find interesting and useful under the read more!  ~~~

RIP ZAPP

I just got some really shitty news. There used to be a REALLY AWESOME zine library here in Seattle called ZAPP. I used to volunteer there. It was housed at Hugo House, which does writing classes and readings and stuff–I’ve taken a couple of classes there. Maybe five years ago Hugo House kicked them out. All this time they’ve been saying they’re still trying to find a new space and open again, and I’ve been really wanting them to, both so I could use the library and because I loved volunteering with them.

Well, they just sent out an email making it official that they’re not looking for a new space anymore–all their zines are just going to the public library. Apparently the deal is they still want to be their own independent thing, but Hugo House still legally owns all the zines and they didn’t want them to. I was already mad at Hugo House for kicking them out, but this is straight-up BULLSHIT. It’s like when Conan went from NBC to TBS and NBC said he wasn’t allowed to do any of his old characters anymore–“We don’t want this thing anymore, but we’re not going to let you have it even though it should rightfully be yours.” The classes I’ve taken there have been really good, but I’m so mad at them I almost don’t want to take another class there again. But there aren’t really other places in town to take writing classes–the library has them sometimes, but the topics aren’t as specific and interesting as Hugo House’s, and it’ll just be an afternoon instead of a couple of weeks or more. But yeh I am pissed.

I know it’s good that the zines will still be at the public library–I am really happy about that at least. But I’m sure the library won’t do as good a job cataloging them, and they (I think?) won’t be collecting new ones. ZAPP had classes about making zines too and I’m sure they won’t do that. And on a personal level I’m just really sad I won’t be able to volunteer with them anymore, cos it was superfun. So yeh this is really fucking shitty.

Nostalgic, Gnarly, Fluorescent & Honest: Exploring the Zines of Melbourne’s Inner North

Recently, I had a little rummage around the inner north’s zine scene to see what kinds of zines were coming out. Though it is incredibly hard to find a zinester or small press who is actively promo…
