THE NEXT ISSUE?

Some of you readers might be worried that DTD is no more, but don't worry...  I still love making it, and so do all the contributors. I just had to take a break from it for a while. From now on, we hope to come out with an issue every other month. Hopefully #08 will be out at the beginning of May as we are working on it right now.

They got a Japanese magazines inspired spine, and are now also ready to print without needing to set up the files for yourself in the printer settings. These ready to print files are only done for the lower resolution files though. Here's a guide on how to print the highres ones.

DO THE DANCE #01 out now!

Here's the first issue of the AKB48 fanzine DO THE DANCE!

You can find the fanzine here as a double page spread PDF document. Or if you rather read it on your mobile phone, here's a single page version (even though it's designed to be read as double page spread). The files are rather big because they are high res, so no preview, sorry. You have to download it. Here's a compressed version, 78% smaller than the highres one of both the double page spread and single page version. Both can be read in the browser without downloading the files.

Here's a Heyzine Flipbooks version.
