What is Francine?</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Francine is the name of a <strong>French fanzine</strong> (a contraction of the words ‘fanatic’ and ‘magazine’), a <strong>free and independent publication</strong> which highlights many <strong>different kind of artistic expression</strong> (illustration, graphic design, writing…).</p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Based in <strong>Alençon</strong>, Francine has been created by some <strong>21 to 24 year-old friends</strong>, united by the willing of leading a <strong>cool, offbeat and graphic design project</strong>. Since November 2014, they have been devoted to the <strong>creation, publication and distribution</strong> of the Francines at local cultural events.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Francine is now ready to discover the world and wants to get out from her native Normandy and <strong>open up new horizons</strong>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Francine is made by <strong>graphic designers, illustrators, writers, journalists, and project managers </strong>- and it’s Adeline and Alice who will be in charge of making you dream!</p>

<strong>Adeline and Alice</strong>, now haircut and musical tastes twins (we know that you can't see that on the photograph), <strong>met in 2012</strong>, at the back to school of their <strong>third year of graphic design and publishing studies</strong>, in Chaumont. They quickly came to work together, indeed, they totally devoted to t<strong>he creation of an iPad app</strong> dedicated to the University of Reims Champagne-Ardennes.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>They are in fond of pictures, paper, music, and absurd humor</strong>, and that's why they are <strong>plenty part of the Francine le Fanzine creation</strong>.They both work as <strong>freelance graphic designers</strong>, but spend the most of their spare time to get drunk with music, but not only…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>To help you to dissociate them:</strong> Alice loves <strong>screen-printing</strong>, wheareas Adeline rathers <strong>food</strong>. The Dour Festival and Francine mean to them to be the best opportunity t<strong>o gather all theirs passions in an one and only project.</strong></p>

<u><strong>THE (SUPER) PROJECT</strong></u></p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
This summer, <strong>Francine will be at Dour</strong> ! More again, Francine will be a Dour Festival’s <strong>official partner</strong> !</p>
<p dir="ltr">
On this occasion, we are going to work on <strong>a special Dour Festival edition of Francine le Fanzine</strong>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
<strong>On the syllabus </strong>: photographs, illustrations, artists interviews, meeting stories, hidden treasures, art and laughter.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Our mission is to <strong>capture the essence of those five magical days</strong> and to come up with <strong>a beautiful fanzine, full of memories</strong> that you will be happy to find back.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
In order to do this, Adeline and Alice of the Francine team will become live-reporters and roam through the Dour Festival on the lookout for <strong>great human and artistic moments</strong>. Those two graphic designers and illustrators are going to make sure this special Francine edition will be lively and creative <strong>to offer you a cheerful, offbeat and original fanzine</strong>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">
</p>
<p>
We plan to release this edition around 10 days after the end of the festival, that’s to say for the <strong>1st of August</strong>.</p>
<p>

<strong>Francine will be volunteering on the Dour </strong>and won’t be financed by advertising. But Francine hopes this fanzine will be read by the biggest part of you - so, printed in sufficient quantities.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
So, the fundraising will help Francine to bring life to her project and print <strong>at least 250 copies</strong> of this special edition of the fanzine.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
Thanks to your support, we will be able to print this special edition in <strong>France or Belgium </strong>which will be made it of :</p>
<p dir="ltr">
- about 32 matt 80g recycled paper, and a 110g cover ;</p>
<p dir="ltr">
- a good four-color process quality printing ;</p>
<p dir="ltr">
- a 165 x 240 mm size ;</p>
<p dir="ltr">
- all the joy we’ll have editing the fanzine.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">
The 800€ raised will help us to pay for the first 250 copies and the Kiss Kiss Bank Bank commissions.</p>
