Digital Zines: Instructions and Materials

First, we will look at and discuss your digitized hardcopy zine. You can retrieve your digitized hardcopy from the GoogleDrive on the right hand side of the screen.

Next, you will remix your digitized hardcopy zine in Pixlr and upload it to Flipsnack to create another digital zine. Individual jpegs, one for each page, can be found in the GoogleDrive. 

First discussion:

1. When you saw your original zine digitized, how was it different than the hardcopy?
2. How does digitization change the zine? Aesthetically? How we interact with it?
3. Does the digital zine become a mere copy of the "authentic original?" Does the hardcopy zine lose anything in its transition to digital?
4. How does this compare (or inform) your experience viewing zines on the online archives?

Second discussion:

1. How was your experience making digital zines different from, or similar to, making a hardcopy zine?
2. How did your making process change?
3. Which process did you like better? Why?
4. If you were making a zine, would you go digital? Hardcopy? Both? Could you merge them somehow?
5. How did you approach the remixing of your previous work?
6. How did your ideas change or grow throughout the process?
