I wanted to create the zines in the easiest method possible, a stack of paper correctly paginated with a cover wrap at the bottom, staple in the centre and fold, and the zine is assembled and in the correct order. I didn't expect to have so much trouble with the pagination, initially I was using InDesign, which was having issues paginating correctly, after wasting a whole day trying to print this way, I decided to paginate manually. I made a small zine mock up of blank pages, I then numbered all of the pages, and took the zine apart. I assigned numbers to each half of a comic strip, and then arranged them in the order I worked out from my mockup, printing in this method was a lot quicker and easier to troubleshoot when things went wrong. I initially wanted to use the risograph printer to print the bulk of the zine on newsprint, for an authentic feel, but as of the hand in date, the risograph printer is still out of black ink, I later hope to print these zines how I intended and sell them at a stall in London.
