lilizine #1
a simple handmade zine about geese: the first edition of lilizine, a series i hope to continue. the first step towards my goal of tapping into creativity and exploring the arts.
the inspiration
this year i’m trying to be intentionally creative and create more than i consume, and this was my first real step towards doing that. i had to make it about my favourite band right now geese. they are absolutely my biggest inspiration recently. i wanted to start super simple as i knew that if i threw myself in at the deep end and and was immediately bad at it, id probably give up.
how i made it
the whole thing was made digitally and then printed on a single sheet of a4 using my parents’ printer. the print quality wasn’t great (there’s a line running through half the pages where ink was missing) and i scanned it back in with my iphone notes app document scanner, which also wasn’t great. but, for a first attempt at a zine, it was surprisingly easy and fun. i added foil stickers by hand for a pop of colour.
i’d love to try making zines with different types of media next time, maybe lino printing or collage with physical cutouts instead of all digital.
