Description: | |
Because of a recent family emergency I will be traveling and not have internet access on the 14th. I will review & assign partners when I get back on the 16th. Please start your zines as planned on the 14th, since who partners are does not really factor in to what you make. I love that the title perfectly sums up the categories this swap fits in. For this swap you will have two weeks to create an art zine, any size/format you want, that is a minimum of 12 pages long (excluding the cover please). That means 12 illustrations/collages/photos etc. You will be sending to five partners. The specifics: The zine has to be based around your visual art, be it comics, art journalling, collage, a visual narrative, two weeks worth of observational drawings, it's up to you. The only real rule is that, though it may include text, text should not be the main foccus of the zine. So sorry, no chapbooks or poetry zines. You only have two weeks to make the zine, definitely a challenge, at least for me. I've timed it like this so that you will have time to make a page a day, then one day for editing/finalizing layout/making a cover and one day for reproducing your zine in whatever manner you deem fit (photocopying/blockprinting/silk screening/whatever floats your boat) Hopefully this swap will be a lot of fun as it will get us doing at least a little bit of art daily for a while. Also, this is my very first time hosting a swap and I'm very excited but please bear with me on any blunders. Fine Print: International (these should be pretty light) Newbies: welcome with filled out profile All others: 4.8 and no recent no sends, if you have a reasonable reason for a bad rating please pm and we can discuss. if you are unsure what a zine is please take a quick peek at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine for a very brief overview |
