Zine: Design & Layout

To create my zine with images from the harbour and the Maritime museum, I opened InDesign selected the amount of pages I needed then made the measurements width: 148mm,
height: 210, pages: 16, orientation: portrait, columns: 2, column gutter: 5mm, margins: top, bottom, inside, outside: 10mm, bleed: top, bottom, inside, outside: 3mm.

I ma using this zine to create a story with my images taken from the photoshoots. My photos will all link in with each other and I am going to pair certain photographs together which relate to each other.

I printed out the images that I wanted to use for the zine, in small, to make a mock up zine. Unfortunately, the printer had some issues with colours but it still allowed me to make a plan for the zine. I placed the images in the order that I thought would work well together.

I started by using the rectangle frame tool to draw out the size I wanted to import my image to and where on the page I would like it.

Once this was done, I used the short cut, ctrl D, to select my chosen image. I then needed to go into fitting and decide which setting made my photo fit the best, without it cropping and without it going over the border.
