A launch party for each issue is usually organised at the Pantheon Cultural Association – which is a great way to network with creative individuals and promote self-publishing.
PIXEL THIS was launched in an effort to promote various creative people from Cyprus within a medium free of editorial control, and to promote the wonderful world of self-publishing.

There are many forms of DIY, self-publishing is one of them. PIXEL THIS promotes and supports other forms of DIY too.
PIXEL THIS is run by a couple of people who wish to spread the love of zine making.
