Artistic / Production backgrounds

[Jeremiah Jukebox]

The best zines I ever did see were plainly splotched out of ketchup packets onto cocktail napkins then crudely photocopied into existence,

 

But for those who lack that electricicity, knowing lots about art design / production is a definite bonus.

 

How does everyone design, edit and compose their zines?

 

Me personally, I sketch a lot with pencils, then trace with markers / gel pens, then erase the pencil lines.

 

I like Gimp as far as computer programs go, cuz its free, and I cherry-pick the fonts which I know are good.
