Welcome to Gaia! ::

HEY GUYS!

So, for my printmaking class this semester, my next project is to make a 2-3 color zine that is 6-10 pages long. After brainstorming and going through a few other concepts, I decided that it'd be really fun to do a sort of 'tongue in cheek' field guide for new Negaverse recruits!

I'm leaning toward doing 10 pages / 5 spreads, to give myself more space for various important facts new recruits need to know.

....but I'm not quite sure what to put in here.

I want it to be a bit funny, not too serious, but also informative? Things I should probably cover:

ranks
energy/starseeds
chaos
youma
"Your weapon sucks"
????

Help me out here. What do you think are the most import things new recruits need to know, right off the bat? Some funny advice could work too...

KEEP IN MIND THIS IS GUNNA BE REALLY TINY. Like. Itty bitty. Small. petite. So it has to stay pretty simple. u.u

Also, I will totally sell extras off for S&H + the price of materials....

^ I think stuff like this might be too specific for what I can pull off at the size I have...and also, for stuff that I'd be willing to present to my class. XDDD

I really want it to be SUPER SIMPLE, along the lines of, IDK...



SIMPLE. limited text, I guess....I'm sorta floundering beyond that. XD

To give an idea, this is about the size it'll be:

A bit bigger, because I'll print at 16x20 instead of 11x17...but only a bit >_>;

Here's my sorta outline so far:
