It contains writing, photography and illustration by a variety of contributors, all of which are listed on its Myspace profile, which also lists interviews with Pop Levi, Ladytron and music video director Nima Nourizadeh as recent features.
Contributors
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. The article also states that the cover of Issue 2 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'.
Issues
Issue 1 was first published in early 2007 and created using Microsoft Word.
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.
Trivia
Issue 1's cover was purposefully left blank, with only the Fever logo present. According to Fever's blog this was done to establish the zine's logo and identity with readers.
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 Publish And Be Damned 2007.
