Written for International Zine Month Prompt #1 "Make a 1-page zine!" and @blancisthecreative #minizinejuly25. July 1st - 5th prompt was "One Color" with the following instructions: "Your mini zine can be about anything but challenge yourself to use one color to put it together!"

My take on the prompt is That ONE Color (said with a bit of attitude).  I did use one color to make the zine in sticking with the original prompt's intention, but I went a step further and used it as a topic theme as well. 

I am sure we've all been asked at least once in our life: "What's your favorite color?" But we don't often talk about what definitely is not our favorite color.  

You probably don't have a lot of hate for this color but it's certainly being picked last. Everyone grabs a player token, and indecision leaves you with yellow. You get a new job, and they make you wear red (why does my face look like a tomato when I wear red... so not my color.). 

Anyway, you probably get the point. This zine has you calling those colors out, rolling a d6 to get a new Color Buddy, and working through the steps to see if you really just don't like the cut of its jib or you've gained a chip on your shoulder from that one time the store was out of your favorite colors and you got stuck with a chartreuse phone case. 

Will you find a new Color Buddy or keep it on the NOPE list?

How Do I Fold It Though?
