This video explains zines, why people make them, and how I personally choose zine topics when I'm feeling stuck. Together we will explore different zine genres, methods to help your brainstorming process, and take a look at some zines for inspiration!

Disclaimer: I am not, and never claim to be, a zine expert. I simply enjoy sharing my process with you. What I do in this video may or not work for you, but this is what helps me.
