Designology 101 Time Capsule Zine

this go round i was very pleased with my zine. i did alot better on this zine than on my first zine. the only problem i had with my zine was trying to tac my zine together. after i put the holes in the pages, when trying to put the zine together i realized the zine was too thick for the tacs. so unfortunately there are some wholes in the zine where the tacs are supposed to be.
