Zine production and distribution massively influences culture.
The zine’s inherent and unique properties allow it to serve as a medium through which the graphic designers and artists authoring them have a hand on culture.

Designers, as the voices in the zine, have a critical role in the proper communication of these beliefs as well as the spread of them, giving them a hand on society and allowing them to shape organized interests as well as respond to changes in economic, political, or religious conditions that may be affecting society as a whole.
