Salford Zine Library // Nexus Cafe

All images taken myself - Zines available from Salford Zine Library
The Salford Zine Library, situated in the Nexus Cafe in the Northern Quarter, had a wide variety of zines. They came in many forms and covered a variety of topics from feminism to socialism to bulimic whales to personal memories.  The huge variety of types of zines gave me a lot of inspiration for presentation of my zine. I preferred the zines that had an evident element of handmade or craft or is personal to a person. This allowed me to feel closer to the maker and more of a connection. Additionally, the ideas of handcrafted and personality seem to make the zines much more labour intensive suggesting the strong ideas and importance to the maker.
