celestial night #12 / my secret diary #5Joint zine with Natelie’s My Secret Diary (Amarita had left this zine by then). It’s definitely the most fun to make, as I was in college at the time, and Natelie still in Form 5, and on weekends I’d head to KL and we’d hang out at Mos Burger and just work on the zines together for hours.

rosefire #2 (celestial night)When working on this, I had at read least one zine by someone else. One other zine, called Adele. Learned basic copy-and pasting, hands-on layouting, and had more fun working on this.

rosefire #1 (celestial night)So. I started this zine with a vague idea of what “real” zines were (having previously done zines without knowing that other people were doing it, and that it was actually a thing people do), but no idea what a regular zine even looked like. Includes contributions from curious friends and classmates. It was fun, working on it as a collaborative effort.
