My process for making mini zines
Here’s a video overview of how I make mini zines, from initial idea to finished zine.

Zine: Song lyrics I mishear
“Song lyrics I mishear” is a mini zine that lists lyrics where I hear the wrong words. Each page is about one song and includes the actual lyrics along with what I hear instead.
I wanted the interior pages to be a mix of typed text (the actual song lyrics) and handwritten notes (the words I hear). This way, the pages look like they’re annotated.
How to design a mini zine in Canva
I made tutorials that show how to set up a design file in Canva to make an 8-page mini zine. The tutorials go over how to set up guides and what the page order will be. Everything in the tutorials is done with the free version of Canva.
There’s a video version you can watch on YouTube.
And a PDF version you can download for free.
Here are a few preview pages from the PDF:
