Zines are NOT Magazines

Zines are commonly thought of as "small magazines" but zines are not magazines at all. In fact, they are the opposite. In this video we will discuss the difference between magazines and zines, the importance and purpose of creating zines, and then we will end with a zine tour!
Disclaimer: I am not, and never claim to be, a zine expert. I'm simply a gal who makes zines and shares them online. Although I've been making them for years, I still have lots to learn about the medium but I hope you enjoy what I have to share today. Do you have any information on zines you'd like to share with me? Drop a comment below!

Stickers zine by @jezziejudy (sorry I typo in the video)

[@messykeys7955]

I might actually end up writing my “fantasy novel” in the format of a zine now :0 thanks for the inspiration! I’ve been putting so much pressure on myself to force my ideas into a specific medium, but I never considered transferring the pottery term “small batch” to my writing until I saw how you put your writing in your zine. Tysm

[@brattyxbre]

Please do! I think it will be great, there are so many ways you can make it and it will be easy to distribute on your own. Have fun and I hope to be able to get a copy some day ☺️

[@albertoespiricueta4964]

I'm interested in reading the story in however format it comes out to be! How do I follow its progress?

[@lilaboxx]

I'm thinking about turning my short story idea into a zine

[@sleepy.timaeus.arts.]

oo, that would certainly be interesting! would love to check it out 😁

[@chaoticcollage]

Zine making became my HYPERFIXATION earlier this year. Once I started I couldn’t stop, but I didn’t know how to distribute so I started posting the process videos on TikTok and it was cool to connect that way. I love your work.

[@lgnbby]

I remember when I was young, I always used to make little books and art magazines. I was so obsessed with it but along the way, after I studied art at school, I put things like this to the back of my head. Recently I found your content on Instagram and you've reignited a fire in me and I'm now planning on creating my major university project around zines. I am so happy that I have found the zine community and you are my biggest inspiration right now

[@brattyxbre]

you’re the sweetest! thank you for sharing your story, I can relate. It definitely took me years to revisit the artist within me and I’m glad I can share my creations with you. I’m EXTREMELY happy to hear you’ll be doing your uni project on zines - they have such a wonderful history!

[@myhandsaslanguage]

Woah, those were all really cool. That transparent pages comic??? Amazing. The little ghost zine? Absolutely adorable and EXCELLENT. Unfolding the zine to include a SECRET POSTER????? Wow. Wowowow. I am so excited to be learning about zines and trying out this art form.

[@emmafield8823]

I might have binge watched your zine videos and it’s really cool to see your growth along with your zines! Really inspired me to dabble in zines now as a painter and fellow Nicholas cage enthusiast!✨

[@brattyxbre]

This means the world to me thank you so much 🥹💞 love meeting fellow Cage heads!! Haha

[@Jasmine-ot8br]

Girl not you dabbling into being a stand-up comic. You have story times for days this is amazing you are so creative and inspiring

[@brattyxbre]

Hahaha I have a lot of life experience for no reason 😂 thanks for listening! I can’t wait to make more videos like this

[@PrinceBaraButterfly]

the one with the vellum paper is actually perfect for a 2 pg comic idea I wanted to redraw featuring a digital ghost!! :O

[@caption628]

Loved your collages at 11:08 and 18:04, and the zine earrings too. The teabag zine is really cool, and the one with the vellum paper is making me think about using tracing paper to make a zine. Great video

[@reignofapples]

I loved the zine tour!! Hoping to see more in the future! 🖤

[@brattyxbre]

Thanks for always supporting me from my early days of sharing my art. Can’t wait to post my next video 💖

[@lildb9777]

You inspired me to make a zine! It took me a minute to think of what to make, then I found a wasps nest in the attic above my bedroom, now I have a zine lol. Thank you for sharing, I'm learning to let myself make stuff and zines feel really right for me, but I would have never thought to without your videos!

[@brattyxbre]

Wowwww now that’s thinking outside the box, I’d love to see that zine about the wasps nest haha thanks for watching! It means the world to me that you enjoy my content ❤️❤️

[@yourfriendlydesigner]

This is so fun! And I fangirled when you pulled out the Felicia Chiao "Thank U" plastic bag sticker. :) I found your channel because we have a great collection of zines at one of my local library branches and I've been noodling on making one. Love all your videos so far and your enthusiasm for zines!

[@brattyxbre]

You’re gonna love making zines! Thanks for watching me geek out about em. Happy holidays and new year

I love that the magazine you hold up is a Nick Cage cover. :)

I love me some nick cage hehe

[@BMPerdigao]

I’m sorry about my silly question but how do you get the final product? How do you print and what tool do you use to organize the pages? Is it all glued and then photocopied? Thank you and great work! ❤
