flomzinem nº1. now available as a free download

And you can get it here:

at the now ‘dor­mant’ site where all the 423ZERØ ac­tion hap­pened last week.

Just pick your favourite file for­mat:

Or if that’s too fussy, here’s a di­rect link: flomm.us/zine

 

 

We CALLED FOR ART and we GOT IT.

It was stream­ing in all day – and was far mor than we ever ex­pect­ed.

 

And then I jumped into mag­a­zine mak­ing mode and start­ed piec­ing it all to­geth­er.

With­out a plan. With­out a map.

 

And things were a bit wonky on the LIVE STREAM video front. You can watch SOME of the saved videos here:

PART 3  PART 4  PART 5  PART 6  PART 7  PART 8

 

 

And the videos show pret­ty much wat graph­ic de­sign­ers do: Move things around in a giv­en space, on a grid and fig­ure out wat works best. Then go in (and most of this hap­pened af­ter I gave up record­ing) tear it all apart and start over. ‘Mas­sage every­thing,’ as I call it un­til there’s a fi­nal prod­uct.

In this case, a PDF that could be viewed or print­ed thru a va­ri­ety of apps.

My favourite is thru Fire­fox: Be­cause it has a hor­i­zon­tal scroll op­tion, just like read­ing a real mag-a-zine:

 

FLomZINEm Nº1. is dig­i­tal. It’s print­able. It’s 232 pages of FLOMM. AL­MOST a Sep­tem­ber is­sue.

Al­most.

Res­o­lu­tion of im­ages and colour cor­rec­tion? Just didn’t wor­ry about it.

This was MOR to get us all out of our heads and MAKE SOME­THING. WHILE QUAR­AN­TINED.

The FIRST ever FLOMM ZINE.

 

AND FOR MOR on all this, BILL MEAD, MY­SELF and MILK SUR­FACE will have a re­cap of FLomZINEm Nº1. and the 423 ZERØ ex­per­i­men­tal site on the next episode of RADíO FLOMM.

 

HUGE thanks to every­one in­volved!

WE did this to in­spire. While you drink tea, and eat some mac-a-roons.
