Hi there! 👋 I'm Dayna, and love creating, collecting, and reading zines! Zines are self-published DIY publications, typically made using a copy machine. They can be about really anything, and are a great way to express yourself and find community. #zines #zinester #diy #craft #printing
In today's episode, I'll be sharing my Up-Down method for determining the pagination (page numbers) and collation (page order) of my zines. I find this method works great as both a tool for brainstorming and outlining, as well as a way to assemble your zine after it's been collaged or designed.
