4. The layout is done with my Grid Drawing Club -editor. Each page is a CSS grid (24x41), and I can easily resize and reposition the text frames on the page. But basically, the zine is a *static HTML webpage*, so I can also hand-code it. 5. PDF is generated by the browser, using @media print rules for CSS. In Firefox I just go File->Print->Save to PDF. 6. Page imposition is made with a small utility I made specifically for my own inkjet printer (using pdf-lib) to get the right page order and orientation. 7. Printed on paper I found from a second hand store, bound by hand. So, overall, every single step in the process from design to print is fully custom, made with my own tools. This is just a test zine, but the eventual goal is to make a whole book!
