The_zine is an independent platform for publishing works in the field of creative production, in the form of a web page and a printed fanzine. In the spirit of the DIY approach, the content is user-generated — users send in individual spreads, so each issue is created almost spontaneously, by the accumulation of collected pages. The topic of each issue is chosen randomly, using a ‘random word generator’ and Google Translate, and the participants can interpret it as they wish. Each new issue is published online and anyone can print it out at home.
We set up a workstation during Dan D 2014, an annual design festival in Zagreb, where visitors could observe the zines being hand-made and take a copy home with them.

Team Bokte (and guests) during Dan-D / D-Day Exhibition where the project was first presented. Guests could come in and see first-hand what it takes for the_zine to be made and take their copy home. From file prep, printing, photocopying, binding, cuting and all that comes in between — a lot of classic hits from Rihhana and Fergie, dancing and plant watering to relax from zine-making!
Thank you for your comments and appreciations.
