WHAT?
PIXEL THIS is an independent magazine from Nicosia, Cyprus.
Born on the 13th of October 2003, PIXEL THIS zine is a communication medium
that aims to bring together voices to unleash feelings, concepts, desires, experiments,
thoughts and questions. Targeted to creative lovers, every issue will have a
theme that all contributing artists (local & international) will work towards
– the zine accepts illustrations, photographs, graphic art, poetry, articles,
and rants; basically anything that can be printed. The zine’s format is:
20x20cm, black & white, photocopied, staple bind, in plastic sleeve and
sealed with paper sticker and is sold for CYP3.00.
A launch party for each issue is usually organised at the Pantheon Cultural
Association – which is a great way to network with creative individuals
and promote self-publishing.
WHY?
PIXEL THIS was launched in an effort to promote various creative people from
Cyprus within a medium free of editorial control, and to promote the wonderful
world of self-publishing. Soon the zine opened its pages to international contributors
who shared a DIY approach and that were keen to support the initiative. DIY
(Do-It-Yourself) is about taking control away from corporate consumer influence
and creating things on your own terms, promoting unity and communication diversity
through a creative exchange. There are many forms of DIY, self-publishing is
one of them. PIXEL THIS promotes and supports other forms of DIY too.
WHO?
PIXEL THIS is run by a couple of people who wish to spread the love of zine
making
