I just attended a really amazing virtual workshop on #zine making for the web by Cree Renee (https://wholeheartednwholeso.me/) and Neta Bomani (https://netabomani.com/) as part of the #BlackZineFair.

Cree showed us how to create and export the zines as PDF with Figma using this template: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1628584362857577687/4-page-digital-zine-template.
Then, they walked us through how to set up the PDF as a flipbook in https://heyzine.com, and then embedded on a site using https://hotglue.me.
Another participant also introduced us to https://simplebooklet.com, and I shared https://wwwobble.org
During the breaks, they played some tunes from the Fair's playlist: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzYRI3E7hKo3sY5KC2Dcf5lcAJ0V3S1Vg
Here are some of the #ezine examples shared during the workshop:

This one wasn't mentioned in the workshop per se, but when I prerused the Black Zine Fair hashtag on Blacksky, I came across this one because of its striking cover. It's given me a lot of ideas for my next zine.
Their website also has these incredible protest posters: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/folders/1U-OV1Mx5Dj2p4RMXtOrwzOe4O9u4Ydhw?usp=sharing
