Don't Wait, Seek and Create: A Companion Guide for Making ZINEs with Canva, Risograph, and Handmade Binding

Don't Wait, Seek and Create: A Companion Guide for Making ZINEs with Canva, Risograph, and Handmade Binding

This is a companion guide packed with everything I know about combining Canva, risograph, and handmade binding to create ZINEs. Books related to Canva do not include how to make booklet-like ZINEs. Even reading articles by seniors who made ZINEs with Canva, there are many who prefer online submissions, and I can't find a page summarizing information on risographs or handmade bindings. In such circumstances, I tenaciously gathered information, repeated hypotheses and verifications, and finally got to the point where I could make ZINEs, sharing my insights. I hope this ZINE becomes a companion guide for those who want to make a ZINE from start to finish with their own hands, and becomes a starting point that strengthens the connection between Canva, risograph, and handmade binding. [Special Offer] If you send us your feedback or questions through the QR code at the end of the book by the end of March 2026, we will send you a URL where you can view the design of this work on Canva. *The special offer may be extended depending on the author's circumstances. [Contents] - The reason I made this ZINE - The best approach for Canva × Risograph × Saddle Stitch Binding (my current theory) - Choosing paper - Enjoying risographs (Notes on creating manuscripts and printing) - Imposition and saddle stitch binding - My favorite binding tools - Creating data on Canva (The background of starting to use Canva after Illustrator and Affinity) - Six key operations you should know - Convenient tips that I often use!!! - Column ① Various aspects of risographs (Choosing a studio, making plates for two-color printing, understanding the system and innovating the plates) - Column ② Escaping the maze of crop marks (The necessity of crop marks and bleed, the journey to understanding plate misalignments) [Specifications] Written, illustrated, and bound by ROMI A5 size, 28 pages Risograph printing Hand-bound, variability in risographs is inherent. I hope you enjoy those aspects as well.
