- ystrickler 7y agoThe Creative Independent is an example: https://thecreativeindependent.com/ https://thecreativeindependent.com/
- GrayTextIsTruth 7y agoCould you elaborate on what makes these feel corporate? The design seems really modern and polished to me.
- spamizbad 7y ago"really modern and polished" strikes my tastes as corporate in the world of zines. Just my opinion tho, not trying to gatekeep.
- kradeelav 7y agozines are interestingly their own subculture that sparked out of sci-fi fandom and punk culture, so anything more "polished" than those origins is going to seem corporate by comparison. This is a pretty good article that gives something to compare to (https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/88911/brief-history-zines https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/88911/brief-history-zine...).

- frandroid 7y agoI don't know what the downvoters or the Parent think they're saying, but companies cannot produce "zines", by definition. Zines are produced by individuals. A company "zine" is a magazine, no matter how "cool" and lofi the layout.
