A zine (zeen) is a handmade and self-published booklet that is used to communicate ideas and art. Traditionally they were made with basic materials like paper pen and a photocopier. They were quick to produce so that you could share ideas in an efficient way. It's an inspirational experience going to a Zine Fest.
