When to use it.
Zine is a 12-page A5 zine template for a community studio, club or collective, styled as a refined indie magazine in navy and cool greys. It runs page by page from the cover and an inside front cover with contents and credits, through the editor’s letter, a four-page photo essay with a field guide, and a two-page interview, to a back page with a schedule, class prices and a cut-out coupon, and a back cover with your address and hours. Full-colour photos, a round badge, drawn diagrams and italic margin notes give it an independent feel, over a tidy grid that keeps it easy to read.
