I wrote this in large part because I love being able to print out zines about my favorite topics ("hey, want to know more about computer networking?! I wrote a small thing you can read about it!!") and give them to people who might not otherwise read about the subject.
- NetStrikeForce 10y agoThis is extremely cool, thanks for sharing. I will share this with some developers I know... :-)
- tonyarkles 10y agoThis, like all of your other zines, is awesome! Would you mind sharing what you're using to make them? It looks too nice to be scanned paper?
- jvns 10y agoI wrote a blog post about the process here: http://jvns.ca/blog/2016/08/29/how-i-made-a-zine/ http://jvns.ca/blog/2016/08/29/how-i-made-a-zine/ I write them all on a 10 inch Samsung tablet (with an "S pen") in an app called Squid. Writing them on a tablet really helps a lot -- my first zine was on scanned paper, and it was fun (you can see it at http://jvns.ca/strace-zine-unfolded.pdf http://jvns.ca/strace-zine-unfolded.pdf) but it was hard to edit and the results didn't look nearly as good. If you use an ipad pro, there's an app called Goodnotes which is quite good for drawing things like this. They both give you vector images so you can scale them up to any resolution.
- tonyarkles 10y agoAwesome, thank you very much! Love the zines!
- soapdog 10y agoI love your zines. I have a pack of them here waiting for distribution at our next meetup here in Brazil. Thanks a lot for the hard work, it is very inspiring!
