Zine workshop by Kenn Munk

Kenn Munk:

Running a zine workshop for 60 students, I thought I'd mess around a bit as well, so when I found this pack of Star Wars kinder-egg style chocolates, I set up some rules: I could only use materials from that purchase, including the receipt. I could not use a computer, I could not scale anything (on a photo copier) and I had to design and make it that evening.
