Many elements of this process would benefit from the insights of a bookmaker from binding to edge trimming. You're so close to such an amazing end product!
A suggestion for you. Because surely you're trimming in to the rounded corners with this order, and it would be worse the closer you get to the middle pages. So I'd say, get your folds, staple, cut off the excess, THEN round the corners. It could even be a quicker process because you're not having to keep rotating the full page to clip them.
What a great video! I always enjoy The art of photography's channel when he talks about zines and have really wanted to try to make one of my own. Your way is a fun, attainable way to start out making your own. I'm definitely going to give it a try in the near future! Thanks again for sharing your process with us and for the template as well!
Thanks so much for watching. I used a fairly standard business level, laser printer I think a higher quality inkjet printer design for photos would’ve been a better choice.
@@Dimasphotographer thank you so much for watching. I don’t see why it would be, You could just use 11x17 (Tabloid) copy paper. Leave this with me. I’ll see what I can put together.
@@Redefining_average hey there thanks for watching. What I did was let each side dry for probably about a minute and then I printed on the other side that helped me avoid smudging.

Thank you so much for providing the template! Looking forward to designing my first zine!
Thank you so much! You've made what I've felt could be a terrifying experience a calming and smooth one 🙏🏻 I love the transparent cover.

@@ChrisDN great point. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, love making zines by illustration or photo but its fun to make a readable item that other people can have

@@WhateverTravis thank you so much for the encouraging feedback and thanks so much for watching
This looks great. Seems easy enough for very small zines. Thanks for sharing.
@@sc0ttmagoon you are so welcome and thanks for watching.
Excellent! Many thanks for sharing your zine process.
@@peterroberts9580 thank you so for watching.
Great video! Very informative. Thank you for sharing your process.
Very nice video. Thank you!
May I ask what you used for a printer?
Thanks so much for watching. I used a fairly standard business level, laser printer I think a higher quality inkjet printer design for photos would’ve been a better choice.
TY so much for this and for the template. I've been wanting to make a zine.
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching my video. 🤙🏼
Nice one, thanks! I was thinking isn't it better to cut the edges last?
Thanks so much for watching and yes in hindsight it would be best to cut the corners at the end. :)
This is so helpful, many thanks.
@@Danman4u2 thanks so much for watching 😊
Thanks for the template!!! LOVE IT!!!!! Is it difficult to create a Magazine size? 8.63 × 11.25 inches ???

@@islandbyfilm Thank you! I am not that tech savvy, so I am using Lightroom "magazine". I just loved using a free tool! Thank you again!
@@Dimasphotographer Thanks so much for watching :)
Hello! When using this paper do you have any issues printing on both sides? Designing my zine right now. Thank you for the video
@@Redefining_average hey there thanks for watching. What I did was let each side dry for probably about a minute and then I printed on the other side that helped me avoid smudging.
@@islandbyfilm Awesome! This is the only video I could find with this much information. Great content, can’t wait to see more from you. Thank you
I may have missed it, but what have you found is a good paper?
Thanks.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Great video! I love seeing process videos. I use Canva to lay out zines, and it’s a very similar process to what you’re doing in Pages.
Thanks so much for watching. I’m actually going to try Canva next.
Great video. How many pages is this zine?
how do I print this? does that require any special steps?
Great stuff
Thanks so much Cory. I appreciate that I can always count on your support. 🤙🏼
You need a paper scoring board, that will speed up your folds significantly.
👏👏👏
