The mini zine templates repository for the Mozilla Festival Session: Make your own data zine!
Mini zines are small 1 page self-made and self-published magazines originated in the punk, feminist and queer movements. They are a great tool to publish your own topics, enabling you to share your strong ideas and thoughts with other people no matter if too niche or ignored by the mainstream.
Everyone can do zines. It is totally ok to make rough and unpolished zines. They don't need to be perfectly layouted.
