Examples of a Zine

These are the examples of some Zines that have personally caught my eye! 

The one capturing the creator's Japanese trip also caught my eye for being geared towards being more of a photo book. I wouldn't say it's necessarily editorial, but it reminds me a lot of those really personalized coffee table books. There's intention in the spreads and layout, and I think that's lovely. The other thing that I liked about it was that it's a stapled or bound version and not folded. I've made a DIY photo book for a class before, and let me tell you, IT'S NOT EASY. But, I would really like to learn how to do a version that does look more polished like hers. 

The Sonny Angel one is a good example of how niche this format allows for. I mean, where else would you be able to make an encyclopedia dedicated to the different varieties of Sonny Angels? Plus, the fact it's all based on folding would definitely help for ease of actually making one. I would like to do one that's a bit bigger, however. Not like HUGE, but something that feels nice in the hands. Don't ask me why, lol. Little trinkets like that scratch an itch in my brain.

And considering I have dozens of photos from my trip to Paris, this could be the route that I go. There's intention in the spreads and layout, and I think that's lovely.
