Persephone Pomegranate commented on Anna Xen's blog post Lost"Let me know what exactly you need help with and I'll do my best to help out. Are you doing a cut and paste zine or are you doing it in a program? I was a bit lost when making my first zine too so I completely understand :)"
Anna Xen posted a blog postLost
The more I delve into this project the more I realize I am very confused by it. I don't understand what I'm doing half the time. I plan to write a few stories and I have a few topics and section ideas lined up- the only thing I have to do is figure out how to put it together. I know now why Zine making is tought in college courses and in middle schools. Its hard. If anyone could shed light on my overwhelming situation I'll send you free copies of the first issue. Just leave an address- consider…See More

- The first thing I would do is create a physical template with page numbers so that you can get a feel for the print layout. Then set up your layout in scribus (I've never used it so I can't help there). I do my layouts in Quark and tend to create the initial zine layout in readable order to make it easier. Then I go back and rearrange the pages for print. This also allows me to save each so that I can offer downloadable pdfs.
You can and look at my zines to use as examples here http://reclusiveobscenities.blogspot.com/p/zine.html
Then you can print a copy and add your cut and paste elements and be ready for copying.
If you have any specific questions ask away :)
