So much great advice!! Thank you for sharing! With my A5 (half-size?) zines, I fold the master copy a bit with the pages in the right order to see if I glued everything correctly but with A6 (quarter-size) zines on one sheet, it gets a bit more complicated so thank you for these tips! A tip for digital A5 / half-size pdf zines: if you use abode reader to print the zine, select "print as book" so the pages are printed automatically in the right order (first page next to last page, second-to-last-page next to second page etc).
THIS IS SO HELPFUL!! i’ve mostly stuck to mini zines, in part bc i’ve found printing multiple pages and on both sides hard to wrap my head around. my first zine was a larger half page but i remember that i kept printing it wrong, even with a template ;w; def saving this video for future reference 🙏
this is the BEST zine layout tutorial!!! I'm so so glad I came across it! I organise Auckland Zinefest and we do free zine workshops too and help local zinemakers get ready for the zinefest market. But the biggest struggle is always knowing how to explain the pagination process and the necessity of it! Your video and references to programs and resources is immensley helpful! I will defs be sharing this with zinemakers in NZ! Love the up down method! Gonna use it for the future! Also thank you Nash for this great zine arranger! :~)
oh my GOD that's genius!!!!!!! (up down method) I just recently made my first non-mini-zine!! It's a half-size perzine walking through a metaphorical garden of my life story where all the sections are delineated by what name I was using at the time! I'm selling them on kofi to save up for a transmasc summer camp!!! also, I just gotta say I love your zines, I can't wait to get my hands on some!
I love all the details you add to these videos! the colorful filters and static add so much! not to mention all the helpful and inspiring information about zining.
This video would've been VERY helpful a few months ago when I was trying to print a poetry collection of my fav author (her work's been on the public domain for decades, don't worry). I couldn't so I left the project on pause. After cracking my brain last week I finally came up with my own method for arranging the pages (it has 200 pages and I'll be making signatures, sewing them and bind them later). Your process was helpful, though, now I want to make my own zines to gift to friends when we make art exchanges 🤭
Ah! I’m sorry this video couldn’t be of help with the poem project - it sounds like a spectacular and massive project! Who is the poet? My interest is piqued.
