Introducing the 2022 MXTX Food Zine!

(April 11, 2023 update: due to a storage issue, the download links in the original version of this post are no longer working. Please reblog this version instead.)

The MXTX Food Zine is out now - download it here on Google Drive for free! Inside, you'll find 25 delicious recipes and 34 new fanworks across all three MXTX fandoms, including art, fanfiction, and themed recipe cards.

Our team has been working on this project since December 2021 for an anticipated release in May 2022, but the general state of the world this year slowed the process down and delayed the release to this October.

Special thanks to @wwjgyd for the beautiful design work, to @suzapallito for the cover art, and to all the creators: this project would never have been possible without you.

To the fandom: reblog this post, download the zine, and enjoy! If you can't access the documents, email [email protected] for help or message the mods here on tumblr.

Summary: When the Redanian government decides to revive the ancient legal tradition of Correctional Marriage, Eskel is forced to take on his strangest Witcher contract yet: he must marry and "rehabilitate" a convicted smuggler who also happens to be a bard, a Viscount, and the longtime companion of Eskel’s best friend, Geralt of Rivia. Jaskier expected to waste away in a dark prison cell under the streets of his beloved Oxenfurt. Instead, he is given a simple but impossible choice: agree to marry a strange Witcher, or hang for his crimes. Jaskier soon finds himself handfasted to Eskel, a man he barely knows and cannot afford to trust. Bound together by fate, marriage, and a powerful spell known as the Ringbound Curse, Eskel and Jaskier’s destinies were linked long before their first meeting. Now they must learn how to work together, break the deadly curse, and find Geralt of Rivia before it’s too late.

A Deep Dive into Discbound Planners

A Deep Dive into Discbound Planners

This is a follow-up to a series of posts created several years ago that dove deep into classic ringbound planners. To follow-up, we are going to going to investigate the ringbound planner’s closest cousin, the discbound planner. Weekly interior spread from Happy Planner What’s a Discbound Planner: Discbound planner systems are built on a similar principle to a standard ringbound planner except…

Examples of ISTD Projects

I decided to look at previous ISTD outcomes to get an idea of what they expect.

I loved this project and particularly their use of typography and how their visual language compliments the subject matter and research. In the background of the pages you can see a grid pattern which mimics what you see on the floor of a tennis pitch. Sections of type are connected with a bouncing tennis ball. The typography is emotive, when the copy is someone shouting it is large and slanted to emote this. From this project I can see that for ISTD your visual language and typography all has to clearly link to your subject matter. Every decision has a reason and helps build your narrative.

This project is about cosmetic surgery. I love where typography is cut/manipulated to look like it has undergone cosmetic surgery. I also love the front cover of the book where you can see part of it peeling off. This has shown to me that I can really experimental with the typography in the book - I can manipulate typefaces to give the type an added layer of meaning.

This project was creative with the print and form of the book. I love that they used cut out pages and tracing paper. Alongside considering the type in the book it is important to think about how you print and bind the book compliments your subject matter and helps build your narrative.

I love the form of this project. It being ringbound and having different page lengths makes it look both exciting and professional. Like the last project they used cut out and fold out pages which keep the reader engaged and add to their narrative.

can i ask, what sketchbook/pencils do you use for your sketches? i love how they look!!

thank you!!! i use a mechanical pencil and pretty much any kind of sketchbook i can find that’s roughly 8x6 inches and hardbound- i avoid the ringbound ones because i carry mine around in my bag everywhere and the pages were always falling or ripping out. i also sketch sometimes with ultra fine tip sharpies and black lining pens, but i usually just use the same trusty .7mm mechanical pencil, one of the clearpoint papermate ones with the twisty eraser

A Deep Dive into All-In-One Planners

Our final planner category is all-in-one planners (see our previous posts on Ringbound, Discbound, and Elastic Bound)– these are bound books with hardcover, softcover or spiral binding that feature some combination of calendars and other features for planning. This is probably the hardest category of planners to comprehensively discuss. There are literally hundreds of options available on the…
