ISSUE #7: Signs

SIGNS

Some ideas to get you started –

• Omens: Black cats, superstitious stories, breaking a mirror while walking under a ladder.

• Signatures: Send us a picture of an autographed body part, a graffiti tag (no HAHA, everyone’s seen it) or just your own groovy calligraphy.

• Sign language: get together with your friends and bust out some AUSLAN skillisms.

• Street Signs: Amusing signs. Like, in England, I saw one that said ‘stop cock.’ Bonus points for anyone who comes up with a plausible explanation of this.

• Symbols: In case you’ve just discovered some sort of groundbreaking theory... something about ‘e’ equalling ‘m’ something. Mathematical signs, Caution!- Chernobyl signs, or something else clever that we haven’t thought of because the division of labour is the cornerstone of society.

• Star signs: Because if astrology is good enough for Nancy Reagan, it’s good enough for us.



Here are some things to keep in mind -

1. The issue is themed 'Signs'; therefore, all entries must somehow relate to that theme. It can be anything to do with signs (see above suggestions), but don't limit yourself to similar ideas to ours- be creative!

2. Along with your submission, please send us your postal address so we can send a (free!) copy of the zine, along with your published work.

3. Also, make sure you tell us how you want to sign your work- with your full name, a pseudonym, a tag, a small picture of a mouse, just make sure you tell us how to let others know that it's your work

4. All submissions will be printed on A5 black-and-white pages, so if you're submitting an image it won’t hurt to think about its going to look in black-and-white.

5. Unfortunately, we can’t always guarantee that your all your work will make it into the final product, especially if you submit multiple entries- however, don't get disheartened, we encourage you to try again next edition (who knows, you might see your work on the JTAY interweb page...)

Much love,

Everyone at Just To Annoy You.
