Project 366 Zines
Project 366 is my – currently ongoing – project where I post at least one image on my photo blog each day during 2024.
Ever since starting the project, I wanted to have a printed record of it as well.
Initially I thought about putting all of the images into a book. However the sheer amount of photographs will be way too much to actually fit into any kind of book. Maybe if I made them very small and had multiple images on every page, but that’s not really what I want.
So, I decided to go with the magazine format, which is my favorite anyway for various reasons: It’s cheap (at least compared to a proper book), the quality is great (I use Blurb for printing) and I like the format very much in general.
In most cases I tried to go with one page per blog post, which means I still needed to put multiple images onto some of the pages, but that is ok and there are also two page spreads and some images, that stand alone.
I will split the whole year up into four parts, so one 366 zine per quarter.
Part I
January – March 2024
The content:
- 144 monochrome and color (!) images
- 6 pages of annotations (the text part of each post) in the back of the zine, with page references to the images
- 116 pages in total
Part I has been printed, signed and shipped. If you missed it, but want a copy, you can place your order, when the next parts become available.
Part II
April – June 2024
The content:
- 188 monocrhome and 6 color images
- 6 pages of annotations
- 124 pages in total
Part III
July – September 2024
The content:
- 133 monocrhome and 2 color images
- 6 pages of annotations
- 124 pages in total
Part IV
October – December 2024
Posting images is still ongoing and will conclude on December 31st 2024.
Cost for Printing & Shipping
Let me preface this, by saying that it is not my goal to make any money on this, but obviously I can’t hand out the zine at a loss. (Although that would be nice!)
- Printing costs with Blurb are roughly 23 EUR per copy
- Shipping from Blurb is ridiculous, eg. 10+ EUR for a single copy, more than 20 EUR for five copies
- However shipping from me to almost anywhere in the world is between 4-8 EUR
- The plan is to use a Blurb coupon usually brings the price down somewhere between 20-30%, sometimes shipping is also reduced
So the total cost for one zine including shipping comes in at 25 EUR.
Are You Interested?
By signing up via the form below, you will be in the loop for when the next zine will become available and I also sometimes write about my process of creating the zines.
Thank you so much for your interest! It is a truly special feeling to send out my photography into the world in printed form! ❤️
