Get your zines!

One last post about MALA 6000. In addition to researching books in the Historical Collections, the students also made their own books in the form of zines, which are shown here. The assignment was to use an existing text and lay it out and illustrate it.

Zine made by Chelsea Able.

The student used a simple format, with all the text and images laid out on one 8.5- by 11-inch sheet, which was then cut and folded to make a eight-page booklet.
