Fever Zine is a quarterly zine based in London, United Kingdom.
Its contents focus mainly on music, with art, fashion, DIY culture, e-culture, music videos and other zines featuring heavily.
The zine was created and is edited by British journalist Alex Zamora and is designed by graphic designer Simon Whybray.
According to its MySpace profile the publication is available at a variety of cultural hotspots in London such as the Institute of Contemporary Art, as well as around the United Kingdom.
Appearance
Printed in black and white on A4 paper, its front and back covers are pink while the inside pages are white. It uses distinctive hand-drawn typography on its cover and on its article titles.
According to an interview in Italian magazine Beautiful Freaks, Zamora has stated that Issue 1's cover was purposefully left blank, with only the logo present. This was done to establish the zine's logo and identity with readers and maintain ambiguity about its content.
Content & Contributors
Fever Zine contains original writing, photography and illustration by a variety of contributors, all of which are listed on its Myspace profile. Recent interviews include Pop Levi, Ladytron and music video director Nima Nourizadeh.
According to an article in November 2007's Grafik Magazine, its contributors are wholly drawn from Myspace and range from art students to professionals from the U.K. and the rest of the world.
This was further re-inforced in an article published on The Guardian website on January 7th, 2008;
"The underground, hand-photocopied magazine Fever Zine coordinates contributors and subscribers through its MySpace page. Fever Zine has 5,000 friends and a cult following; editor Alex Zamora said MySpace was essential to help find the new talent that he wants to feature in the lo-fi publication."
Issues
Issue 1 was first published in early 2007 and created using Microsoft Word.
Issue 2 was featured in an article by journalist Helen Sumpter in Time Out London on the 23rd of July. It was picked as one of the zines to look out for at 2007's Publish And Be Damned. Its cover was drawn by acclaimed British illustrator Andy Council and is based on the Spinosaurus from the movie Jurassic Park 3. According to his website, Council has nicknamed it 'Feversaurus'.
Events
On Saturday April 21st 2007, Fever Zine took part in the annual London Zine Symposium at the Horse Hospital in Bloomsbury, London.
According to their blog, Issue 2 of Fever Zine debuted at the independent publishing fair Publish And Be Damned in London on July 29th, 2007.
