GENERAL PAGE DESIGN TIPS

Some things to keep in mind as you design your zine pages:

  • Unless you're printing out your zine in color (which can get expensive quickly), your pages will be printed in black & white. Think about the post-print legibility of colors, patterns, and images you use. You might try copying, scanning & printing sample pages as you go to see how they look.
  • Copy machines often cut the edges off of pages, or impose small margins around the edge of copied pages. It's a good idea to leave a small margin (1/8-1/4") around the edges of your pages to allow for this.
  • If you're laying the zine out by hand (instead of with software), only decorate one side of each page. This will make your layout process much less tricky.
