DAD: Minizine Swap - Free Themed

DAD: Digital Minizine – Free Themed

For this swap you will create 1 digitally composed minizine on any topic you would like. Some examples include - Recipes!, Stuff I Found on the Sidewalk, Sports, How to Change a Bike Tire, My Vacation to City/State/Country, My Favorite Things, etc. You can even write a poem, make a playlist, or make a comic. The opportunities are endless!

This swap has a loooong lead time due to the fact my life is hectic in May. However this means you get a whole month to work on you zine! Neat!

Create 1 minizine on any theme you would like and send it to 2 partners.

Hidden Heart Cento Poem Mini Zine

Swap Description

• The zine can be composed using any digital software you prefer, however it must fit on 1 page of US standard letter paper (8.5 x 11 inches or 215.9 x 279.4 mm) or A4 paper ( 210 × 297 mm or 8.27 in × 11.7 in).

• Scanned in elements can be included, but the majority of the composition should be digitally generated or created

• The zine can be created using any theme the creator desires and is in a sense “senders choice”.

• The zine will be sent via email and can be printed out by the receiver if they so desire.

Swap Requirements

• You will create 1 zine to be sent to 2 partners

• Zine must be composed in a digital art program (in other words you can’t make a physical copy and then scan it into a program)

• This is a “minizine” format, therefor the zine contents must fit on 1 sheet of standard US letter paper (8.5 x 11 inches or 215.9 x 279.4 mm) or A4 paper ( 210 × 297 mm or 8.27 in × 11.7 in)

• The finished minizine must be sent via email using an appropriate file type (.pdf, .tiff, .jpeg)

• I am happy to angel this swap after you have rated your partner a 1, but I sincerely hope this won’t be an issue!
