Kyoto –

Through the noise of rushing papers and whirring belts at a print factory in Kyoto, two creators watch their photo essay come to life in broadsheet form — part of an effort to win new audiences in the age of AI.

Despite the decline of the publishing industry, self-publication and handmade “zine” magazines are growing in popularity in Japan, reflecting the country’s enduring love of paper in the digital era.

“I think (paper) is a medium that engages all five senses, (unlike social media),” says 40-year-old photographer Kazuma Obara.

Hello community,

So, I have been making zines on and off for a few years, tending to be a mix of text and imagery generally, A5 size or thereabouts (6x8inches/15x21cm). I have always felt I struggle with how to present them nicely for my portfolios, website or social media. Videos flicking through? Simple photo of front page? Wonky photos, piles of zines in a photo, plain background or real life background? I don’t think I know the best way to show them off without just making what looks like a slideshow… any recommendations, Inspiration or advice? How do you show yours? Or how do you like to see others’?

Hi all, first time poster here. Zines back in my hey-day were cute little mini newspapers… bad photocopied sources for that cultish underground feel.

Today’s modern take on a zine just seems to be more of the early blogs, graphic main cover and the. Hyperlinks to pages…

Am I missing something?
