Digitally Designed Zines (to stay digital always)

• Computer, access to Google Slides, PowerPoint, or Adobe Suite if proficient
• Google drive, drop box, or other location from which to make a public link for distribution

For zines designed digitally, either to be printed or circulated as digital objects, the following sources for images could be useful. While these are primarily images in the public domain, zines are also a space in which screen shots of ephemeral media can be referenced and discussed, so that's another type of "image" zine authors may want to bring into their work.

• Wikimedia Commons: Images

• The Internet Archive: Images

• The Public Domain Review

• Old Book Illustrations

• British Book Illustrations (Folger Library)

• Nature Illustrations

• Library of Congress Digital Images

• New York Public Library Digital Collections

• Dictionnaire Universel D'histoire Naturelle

• British Library on Flickr

Many of these links were found by way of a zine guide produced by The University of Puget Sound, thanks to librarian Katy Curtis for sharing them!
