A printed adaptation of the website:
Resource Web


This art-book-style zine is a printed adaptation of a resource/archive website of the classified ads from the gay Toronto-based magazine The Body Politic (1971-1987). The zine is inspired by Toronto's rich gay culture. It features classified ads and other material from The Body Politic. Additionally, the zine features a poster on the back with a photo of two men kissing at the 1976 Yonge and Bloor Kiss-In protest.

The zine was printed using a two-colour risograph on Bond (20lb) paper at OCAD University. It was typeset in Asap, Sofia Pro Soft, and Adobe Pi Std in various weights and sizes.
