Challenge your friends or create a zine with others all around the world in this digital zine (mini-magazine) app.

As a new challenge is created, this application will fetch the latest list for you participate. Take a photo, draw a cartoon, finger paint a masterpiece or upload other artwork or photos from your iphone to compete in the challenges.

You'll be racing against the clock in some of the challenges, in others a slow and steady approach might be best.

Once you've created a zine, tap the submit button and you'll be able to share your zine-o-tron creation with your friends, or view it on-line.

Zine-o-tron was created by the Format Collective, a DIY (do it yourself) artist run collective based in Adelaide. They put on monthly DIY art, music and performance events in their multi-purpose space at 15 Peel Street, in the Adelaide CBD. format.net.au

The zine-o-tron project was a lucky recipient of funding from the Australia Council's Digital Culture Fund, which is a great supporter of indie arts projects. artsdigitalera.com/dcfund
