MAKING / 30 MIN SUGGESTED PRACTICE

Make a mini zine

Turn a small idea into a four-page sequence: a cover, two inside pages and an ending.

01

Choose one small theme

Use a theme you can explore with things you already know: a familiar journey, a favourite corner or three observations from a day. Give the booklet a working title rather than waiting for a perfect one.

02

Give every page a job

Use the cover to invite someone in. Give each inside page one observation or idea. Use the final page to leave a question, a contrast or a quiet ending. A page can contain a drawing, a photograph, a few words or a mixture.

03

Read the sequence

Put the pages in order and move through them as a reader. Look for one place where a detail repeats usefully and one place where something can be removed. Finish a first version before making a list of future improvements.
