    My college professor showed us this video because we were making zines.

    I went to a punk exhibition a couple months ago and totally freaked over the zine section. This video has inspired me to actually make one! Think I'm gonna do one about the UK pop punk music scene I've discovered since moving over here.

    Loved the editing in this video! I work in magazine publishing and I LOVE the breath of fresh air that is zines - no advertising, just pure, raw content. So awesome!

    So we had someone from the largest public library in our city come in to our class to talk about zines and he showed this video to our freshman, high school, fine arts connections class. It was SO cool to see him showing a video from a youtuber I watch EVERYDAY! You're an educational image to our art class!! :D

    When my friends and I were in school, in the days before Facebook, we made little booklets once a week about who was going out with who, which teachers you should avoid this week because they were in a bad mood, which teachers were leaving, doodles and funny poems etc. We were only about 12, we only ever made about 20 a week and looking back it was all super trivial, but to 12 year old me, they were the topics I was passionate about. So I suppose that was my first foray into zines! It's a format I love the concept of seeing it properly for the first time now! Thanks for (re)introducing me!

    This is why i'm subscribed to your channel. Not because you're a book tuber (though, that's how I found you) but because you constantly show us worlds we didn't even know previously existed.

    This is incredible! Well done... and some of my favorite people are included! Can't wait to check out Puffin Food. "One of the best parts about zines is the absolute rejection of being precious with the thing." What a freeing concept. :) xx

  • @MsKongful

  • @bex3278
    @bex3278 8 років тому +1

    Whenever I don't feel my most creative you come up with a video that just gets the inspiration flowing left, right and centre! Thank you for being so inspiring Ariel, I'm definitely going to be making a zine in the very near future!

    You just changed my life.
    I have been struggling with my creativity for a while now, since I moved to London three years ago, and now I am trying to find any outlet I can to let out years of 'confinement'. However, I have an incredible fear of failure, of not being good enough - not to mention my very poor means. I just opened a blog and an Instagram page, but it just feels like it is not enough. I think a zine might be my next step. Thank you, seriously.

    Hooray for someone talking about zines! I hope that many people are inspired to make their own! I've been a zine lover and collector for a LONG time and I love them. So fantastic that you're into making zines. Again, so cool that you're going to introduce these to a youtube generation of people who love to read and write. Fantastic video.

    • @goldmourn
      @goldmourn 8 років тому

      I was making some "newsletters" in the mid-to-late '90s and then later I learned about zines through the internet. I lived in the middle of nowhere so I ordered from zine distros (there are still many out there but a few of the ones I used to buy from are long gone now, sigh) and I noticed that people buy zines through etsy a lot these days (I have now & then - just search for zines) and there were communities on LiveJournal that I bought zines through as well. Also happened upon some in various bookstores when I would visit a bigger city. Just google "how to make a zine" and you'll see a lot come up in the search for getting started. Have fun!

    I've been working on a zine about struggles I've gone through in my personal life and for the last few months I've definitely felt uninspired and just wanted to give up because I was scared it'd be immediately rejected. this honestly inspired me so much that today after school im going whole hog. why do something and and stop halfway because you're afraid, yknow? Thank you very much for uploading this video.💝💝

    Awesome! Great work on this video. I created zines back in the early to mid 1990s, and began my writing career there. I had assumed that modern computers (blogs, social media) had rendered zines extinct, but it's great to see they're still around. It's fun to create something that's simple and heartfelt and creatively free. Anything goes. Much thanks!

    @SeanieBlahBlah 8 років тому

    I am LEGIT jealous of that stapler! I didn't know you could get them like that. I love this video! It's waay better than the announcement I did for mine. I babbled about it for like 5 minutes and didn't even get into what a zine was. I guess mine isn't a real zine though, in a true sense. You're totally right, about how it's meant to be rough n ready and I spent 6 months on one :) Very excited to be a part of this!

    • @ArielBissett
