  • Adam Dixon
Random Zine Generator is a playful tool that gets people creating and making.

There are two versions. The zine version is designed to play either individually or with a small group of friends. Together you work to create a zines, using prompts generated by drawing from a shuffled deck of playing cards.

The party version is designed to be run for larger groups. It has been ran at events including the V&A's Friday Night Lates and Feral Vector. Participants draw three cards, giving them a verb, a noun and a constraint (e.g. Paint a picture of a statue while standing on one leg, or Write a poem about a plant for as long as you can hold your breath). These creations are all brough together by the hosts and turned into a zine that is handed out as a memento of the event.
