    I love the idea girl. For a while we've been missing a "third space" like the coffee shop in sitcom where you just get to be yourself completely unposed, and for a while older social media platforms like my space acted as that digital third space where you were aloud to unapologetically display your interest and thoughts without being obsessed about ad revenue or sponsors. A zine talking about craving raw, candid, authentic spaces on the internet is exactly what's needed right now.

      Wow, thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! 😊 I couldn’t agree more-those older platforms really were like digital 'third spaces,' and it feels like that openness has been replaced with so much pressure. I’m so glad this zine idea connects with you.

    That’s cool! I just quit social media except UA-cam and I’m thinking about how I wanna redo my website. I was recently inspired by some other UA-cam vids going down the nostalgia rabbit holes of 90s and 2000s websites. The world was so creative back then. I’m glad to see you doing your thing!

    • @julianasekai
      @julianasekai  4 години тому

      That sounds awesome! Redoing your website sounds like such a fun creative project-those old-school internet vibes were unmatched. It’s so cool to see more people revisiting that era and making the internet feel personal again. Wishing you the best with your site!

    this is an amazing video! I love how you blend the zine essay style with the how-to style, it's a hard balance to strike (haha speaking from experience). I just started making zines and videos about zines too, and it's crazy to see how long people have been making them without the topic blowing up! But it's so cool to see more people making them these days:)

    • @julianasekai
      @julianasekai  10 днів тому +2

      Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed the blend of styles-striking that balance is definitely tricky, so it means a lot coming from someone who knows the struggle firsthand! Funny enough, I stumbled across the concept of zines when I was brainstorming how to make a photobook, and it opened up this whole world of creativity I hadn’t explored before. I checked out your zine about your trip to Big Bear, and I absolutely love the cutouts and the style-it captures such a personal and nostalgic vibe. It’s amazing to see how everyone brings their own unique approach to zine-making. Let’s keep spreading the zine love! 💕

    This is a gem!!! Your creative story telling is so inspiring. I’ve gone through to the same wants to produce something quirky and creative without needing it to cater to what’s on trend, even if it’s just for me to look back on. I even use Google slides back then just to compile visual graphics and thoughts, I moved to Notion and Goodnotes combined to be able to create something on the go whenever my brain itches to do something creative!

    After watching the video and looking through the zine, I had a existential crisis if I should press the like button on this video or not.
    But I did. And wanted to say great job! Love the people making indie personal websites, zines and trying to reclaim a bit of the internet

    • @julianasekai
      @julianasekai  День тому

      Haha, love that this video took you on a whole existential journey! Seriously, though, thank you for watching, liking, and for the kind words! So glad this resonated with you-here’s to reclaiming a little corner of the internet.

    I really love your style of filming and editing! I'm not even into zines but still watched the video till the end, loved it, and subscribed to your channel. Your storytelling is really compelling, it shows how creative you are, it kept me interested throughout the entire thing. Also loved the Brasil shirt and the Lisboa painting :) Greetings from Portugal!

Comments like yours really motivate me to keep creating! 💕

    I loved reading the zine you created and seeing your process in this video! your editing style is so beautiful! your zine was genuinely fun reading! as someone who hates social media this made me feel like that the internet isn’t all bad and can be a cool place. I miss what the old internet used to be and this just brought me back to the same feeling I had when I was younger 🥹 I want to find niche places like this and have a healthy view of the internet, especially as someone who’s gonna start working remotely soon. I’m definitely gonna keep up with your zines if you make more in the future! take care of yourself and stay safe 🤍🥰

    • @julianasekai
      @julianasekai  День тому +1

      Knowing that the zine and video brought back that old internet feeling for you is the best compliment I could receive. The internet can still be a meaningful and creative space, and I love that you're seeking out those niche corners. Wishing you the best on your remote work journey, and I’d love to make more zines in the near future! Thank you for your support-take care and stay safe as well!

Your style is unique and I love the zine you created! And I so agree with you that the creative process is the real juice. “Never stop creating” I spotted that hahaha! Thank you sister for sharing your creative journey with us, your story is a true encouragement and inspiration to me!--and possibly to many others! ❤

The fact that you noticed all those little details (even ‘Never stop creating’ ) means so much! It really shows how thoughtful and observant you are, and that makes your kind words even more special. It makes me so happy to know that my creative journey resonates with you, and I hope it encourages you to keep creating too! Thank you for your kindness and support-it truly inspires me right back. 🥹💖
