A new prompt will come up on the board and you have two minutes for that! • We’ll keep going until we have filled these zines!

SO, WHAT’S A ZINE?
SOME ZINE IDEAS… • Make a Fanzine about something you love – a TV show, movie, band, sport. • Make a Perzine about yourself or your life • Make a Cut-And-Stick zine – cut up the books and magazines on the table in front of you, and collage the images or words into a zine! • Make a List Zine – make a zine full of lists; tv shows you watch, places you’ve visited or want to visit, your favourite characters, food ranked from best to worst, politicians you hate…. anything! • Make a zine to share some things you know about – like recipes or a ‘how to…’ guide. • Or come up with your own idea – remember ZINES CAN BE ABOUT ANYTHING! • If you’re stuck give a zine library member a wave and we’ll come chat with you, or have a look at some of the zines from the library for inspiration.
