Agreed, I've been trying to get into making my own zines for a few years now, and everything has seemed to go right over my head...this video is thorough and to the point, I actually have confidence I can try again now 😭💕
I have a degree on Graphics Design, and I've been an artist for many years now - which means I'm perfectly aware of how to create a zine. However, your video was soooooo satisfying to watch! It makes me really angry when tutorials are created badly, specially if we're talking about a Begginer's Friendly one. Because it can easily make people feel stupid and discouraged. There's way too many videos out there, about all kinds of subject, that fail at so many levels. I think the biggest proof of intelligence is being able to discontruct a subject into something a toddler would understand. Having this said, you are great at organizing information and explaining it :) you have the talent of teaching, and I'm glad I found your work! Thank you for sharing your expertise.
months ago i decided to create a one piece inspired colouring book for my boyfriend, who loved to colour when he was little, but now all coloring book are either mandalas, or expensive as fuck, or without a reference (like he prefers) and in all cases they are not ideal for left handed people, so i wanted to surprise him with one that would fit those criteria. I drew and designed everything, but for the love of god could not figure out this process, and when i looked for help on the internet, all i found was related to written text and not images, so nothing worked, and when i asked a printing place they said it was a job for a typography studio, and they could not help me. THIS IS A HEAVEN SENT.
oh my gosh… this is so cute I literally found this video with the same idea for my girlfriend! can I ask what kind of paper are you going to use? idk if I need the shiny stuff or not lol
Was never interested in making my own zine before, no idea why I clicked this video. But after seeing how legit easy this can be, I'm def making one for fun now. Thanks for the video!
I’ve been watching your videos for like a year, and I made like 3 handmades in the beginning! Now, me and and my friends are doing our first collab zine. I have the luxury of having periodic downtime at work and I’ve been doing pages on my iPad, and now you’re answering all my formatting questions!! Thank you Bre!!
I put this video on to have some background noise while I work on some linocut, but I have to say, I'm amazed at how beginner friendly your explanation are. I already use procreate and make zines, but starting was not as pleasant as it could have been because most tutorial assume too much prior knowledge or go into too much detail too fast. Case and point, this tutorial is really well balanced.
This is great using the mock up to track which pages go where. Also a good tip you can use the page assist and keep all the pages in one file. You just have to use layer groups to separate each page
I've been wanting to make a zine for a looong time, and the whole layout process felt overwhelming so i never started! Your video made so much sense, was easy to digest, and gives me hope for making my first zine in the future!! Thank you Bre!!!
technologically advanced iPad babies in the chat like "what gives, man?! we can do hard things!!" top notch video, such a big help, happy zinetober, all! 🎃
I’m no beginner but this was a fantastic and simple workflow that anyone can try. I often struggle just being organized when it comes to making zines- this was so helpful and simple workflow!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Friend, I’m a older person now because the way we used to zines was with one sheet paper and you had eight pages only, so whatever radical information you needed to put out you had to make sure that they fit in that eight pages 😂
Hi! I really like the way you explained! I was always confused how to print a Zine and the way that you do on Procreate I think it’s the best! Thank you so much for your video! I will try to make one Zine!❤
Thanks Bre! This is so helpful. I am definitely a visual learner and this was the best Zine lesson I've seen yet. I finally feel like I can start to design a Zine, even though I don't have an iPad. Hooray!!!🎉
you should make a tutorial for a mini/one page zine too! :) thank you for the great tutorials!! im so glad i found your channel when i was searching about zines!!
I. Just love the way you teach, pretty smooth and makes it appear you’re in physical proximity with me. I don’t need to. Make any Zine so , but I interested by ur communication magic.
I had never considered making something like this! I might have to start making zines for monthly recaps or trips or something. Just memory keeping! Thank you for sharing!
This was an inspiring way to use procreate so much easier to create it digitally from the get-go. Then you could PDF each page put them in order of back to back and print both sided. (If one had acrobat :))
When setting up drawing guide, you can also change the colour of the line that’s displayed by selecting from the colour wheel (that rainbow section that appears at the top of the options!) 🎉🎉🎉 Love this tutorial; been itching to make a zine of my own lately, so this is perfect!! 🖤👻💖
This is so nice! I've been using InDesign's print booklet feature to make zines and it's been (mostly) fine, but after I graduate I won't be able to afford adobe products anymore so this will be superhandy to remember 🥰
ahh I definitely want to try this, i've made one zine before for a digital art class but it was using adobe indesign (and i dont wanna pay for that again)
@@brattyxbre You totally should! I’m lucky to have the edu version through my school with more font and image options but you can upload all your own images so you don’t even need to use the Canva ones at all ✨ (if I need pngs I put them through a background remover website ✨) I really like it bc I can see all my pages in order and switch pages around
Love this video 🖤 do you have any videos where you specifically show the decorating parts of making your zines on an iPad with procreate? Like how you added pictures and the fonts etc?
for the longest time i thought zine was pronounced like 'science' but with a Z and without the C. then u explained that its like a small 'magazine' and it hit me like OF COURSE now it makes sense 😂 and great video!!
thank you for this!!! i just made mini zines on procreate using the template in your resources but was wondering how i could make some of this size. this is so helpful!! 🫶🏼
Bro you js opened my eyes, I love making presentations n this js that in book form! I can’t wait to try this! Also, how long does it usually take you to create one?
What I do is I just create every page/spread seperately on a larger canvas than the final print, then I arrange everything just before printing in indesign. Then I pick the booklet option and it prints the pages in the correct order (1&16 and 2&15 on the other side, etc). It's handy because if I'm rushing for a deadline, I don't want to waste time and energy on making sure pages will be in order.
Also what I would add to the guide, make sure you change the color profile when creating your canvas. It's p3 I think by default, your printer will make it look dull and sad. CYMK is the one your printer will replicate most accurately.
Thank you for your awesome content ❤ I love the idea of making a Shadow Zone Zine for shadow work journal prompts & thought you might like the idea too 😁
Great tutorial. Could we create pages as layers and then export the file as separate layers to png? Then you could easily drag/copy content between pages.
thanks for this video!! would you be willing to talk about the process of getting a business license for selling zines (assuming one is necessary)? would love to start selling mine online/maybe in person too but not sure how that side of things work. totally understand if you're not comfortable discussing that though! i appreciate all the vids you share
I dont know if the Bre stands for briana, but me & my bff also are working on a zine and we are also both named briana. Just thought that was kinda funny
I feel like “zines” are what us millennials called “notebooks”, “journals”, or “scrapbooks”. Magazines always primarily sell products, and provide informational articles as well. But people get magazines for both. 😂 hey, as long as people keep indulging their creativity and having fun, you can call it whatever you want!
@@brattyxbre oh no, that’s so sad! I’ve had the 6th gen for 5 years now and it lags A LOT, too. Wanted to upgrade for digital art (and the pink one omg) but I’m sad this lags after just a couple of years! Huhu. Don’t want to buy the new apple pencil, everything’s so expensive lol. Thank you for this! :)
Hello amazing beautiful TH-cam person, I appreciate this video n I appreciate you! I would love it if you could teach us zine noobs how to make mini zines!!

Why am I so motivated to make zines now?! With zero graphic design experience or knowledge. This video was v soothing and inspiring.

I love your hair and the pink wall in your space 😊
You did a great job and working at a printing press taught me to always have a draft. No matter the size document.
Omg I needed this.
Hi bre! I already make zines on procreate! Funnest thing ever. I've started up an Etsy and everything. Hopefully more people start making them!
This is so awesome 👏🏽

Thank you for this super helpful video. You inspired me to make a zine of my time in Hawai’i too! Lived there for 3 years and I miss it so much 😢🌈🌺
This is great! Thanks for making a very beginner friendly video!
You're so welcome 💗🙏🏽
I click cause I want to know what a zines is💀

I explain it in the first 30 seconds wym 😭
Omg this is awesome!! I use Canva to make my zines
I hear Canva is great! I wanna try it 🤓
I also use Canva to make my mini zines. Mostly, literary zines.

First comment! Thanks for making this I’ve been wanting to make a zine this way. I wanna try both virtual and analog and see what I like better
Maybe you can try mixing them, too!
FYAAAA SISTA!!
You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you.
Awesome, thank you for the video Bre!!
thank you for these videos!!!

CYMK is so important!!!!

amazing work and thnx for your insight
I hope my local library has duplex printing available!🤞 Definitely gonna do this

Thank you for this. May i ask what type of paper you're printing on? I love how glossy it looks.
@@lani5287 the cover is a 24 lb glossy paper by Epson and the inside is just regular copier paper :)
What kind of paper did you use? Can you use standard copy paper?
This is an awesome tutorial👍 Thanks so much😊
I use standard copier paper, but any paper is fine!
Love this video! Thank you so much!
Very helpful and thorough walk through. 👍🏾
Glad it was helpful :)
Super cute. Thanks!!
So helpful!
I dont know if the Bre stands for briana, but me & my bff also are working on a zine and we are also both named briana. Just thought that was kinda funny
@@MadHattaBG Yes, that’s my name too. just a couple of Bre’s making zines
Nice info video,
what's is ipad version and it's size?
fantastico! thank youuu ✨

I feel like “zines” are what us millennials called “notebooks”, “journals”, or “scrapbooks”. Magazines always primarily sell products, and provide informational articles as well. But people get magazines for both. 😂 hey, as long as people keep indulging their creativity and having fun, you can call it whatever you want!
I randomly selected this video based on the algorithm and atp I think I will make a zine…bc writing a book is a little boring to me
Hi! May I ask how long you've had your iPad? Is it still working well, with no lag (especially for Procreate), etc.? Thanks so much!
I’ve had it 2 years and tbh it lags all the time lol so I work around it but also I prefer to make zines by hand mostly
@@brattyxbre oh no, that’s so sad! I’ve had the 6th gen for 5 years now and it lags A LOT, too. Wanted to upgrade for digital art (and the pink one omg) but I’m sad this lags after just a couple of years! Huhu. Don’t want to buy the new apple pencil, everything’s so expensive lol.

@@ohhellomarianneit’s so frustrating!! I feel your pain 😩
Try doing it like the mid 90s. We had fun!
When you are on symmetry how do you draw onto each side separately?
Symmetry will always make a copy on the opposite side, no matter which side you draw on
how would you change this process for the next smallest size?
@@Noa_Darling change the canvas size to whatever dimensions you need
i don't know if this is silly but are the steps similar for making a mini version of this?
Here is my short tutorial on how I make mini on procreate ⬇️

Wait is “Zine” magazine?
Love ❤️
Or you can just create 5.5x85 size document and add 16 pages to it. Save it as PDF and print as booklet
There’s many ways! This is just an example of one
Great vid, thanks!😊

Wait how did u make the cover glossy
I printed on glossy paper
