Here’s the collage I made for it:

Here’s a rundown of my process for making this page:

Searched for images on Unsplash. (See image credits at the end of this post.)

Uploaded the muse image to Canva to convert to black and white and edit the background. Downloaded as png.

Opened the edited version in Affinity to add the texture image. Downloaded as png.

Went to Pixlr and opened the edited image. Added the glitch filter and adjusted settings. Downloaded as png.

Uploaded the edited version to Canva. Added text. Downloaded as png.

There are definitely other ways of making a digital collage like this. Probably with less jumping between apps. But for this collage, I went to the apps that I knew could do the work I wanted. Streamlining the process wasn’t my priority.

More about this zine

Someone on Etsy asked if I planned on making more copies of “Timers for travelers.”

I got a few zines from Veronique and Sierra DeCarmen that use the French fold format, and I was inspired to try it myself.

How I Keep a Journal is a zine about my journaling habit. It includes a short background on my journaling style, how I set up my notebook, and how journaling helps me. I wrote everything by hand, which is not my norm for zines with a lot of text. 😅 But it fits the journaling theme.

The zine is printed in color, double-sided, on white 8.5x11-inch paper.

Images of each page are below. You can download a printable PDF version in my Ko-fi shop (for free/pay what you want). My Etsy shop is in vacation mode until September, so maybe later I’ll list a few physical copies there.

I really like the French fold, and I have ideas for more zines in this format. 🙂

I participated in FedizineFest, which is a zine sharing and distribution project for the fediverse.

Think of it like an online zine fest. Some people buy zines. Some people make zines. And some people do both.

I submitted my Text Message Moods zine, so everyone who got physical zines, got a copy of that.

Below are the zines I got from the other people who submitted physical zines. You can learn more about each one on the FediZineFest 2025 page.

July is International Zine Month, celebrating zines and independent publishing around the world.

I’ve seen prompt lists from Stolen Sharpie Revolution and Blanca Carla, so if you want to participate but don’t know how, start there. 🙂

I have a zine listed in this issue, and I’m excited to see what other work was included!

Copies are available on Ko-fi for $1 (+$1 postage).

“My Favorite DVD Designs” is a 16-page zine that collects photos of DVDs with interesting graphics.

This zine celebrates physical media. Pages feature photos of discs with text about how the graphics connect to the TV show or movie.

I have 1 copy available on Etsy (U.S. only).

I also released a PDF version on Ko-fi.
