a zine for an audience of one
My girlfriend got her cell phone stolen a while ago. A lot of our early courting was done via text messages, so I spent the whole day Friday making a 52 page zine with sort of the greatest hits of her texts to me, some funny, some sad (the title is from one of the funny ones). I have a woefully outdated B&W phone (pictured on the cover) which is why I decided on using the sickly pea green paper below. At a capacity of 52 pages, it actually trumps the storage on my phone by +2!

So you're not going to sell this? Because I'd totally buy one!

Great idea! I once began collecting all my texts in a notebook but it got to be a pain. I was having to write them down on scraps of paper if I needed to delete some when I was out and about!

I'm thinking of making a blank version of this to sell at cons or something. It seems to be a common problem!

Nice design on that man. Bummer about the lady's phone though.
