Placed an order with a printer for a WHOLE ZINE CATALOG prototype

Creative Diary

Wednesday, August 19, 2026

We're building various tools to connect creators and their works with shops. First, we made a "creator portfolio" — a PDF that introduces works and can be easily printed at convenience stores. We've also been trying something called the WHOLE ZINE CATALOG, and today I ordered a prototype of it from a printer. It contains all the creators and their works listed on Zindies, including descriptive text. The idea is to use this as a tool to show shop owners and propose selling the items in their stores. However, the unit cost is high, so for now it's the disappointing situation of taking them back instead of handing them out. I haven't seen the physical copy yet, so my opinion may change once I do. It will be unveiled on 8/21.
