Hello, anon!

I’m not quite sure if you’re referring to resources and guides we’d recommend for PDF zines, or if you’re just looking for tips and guidance, but both Admin Fif and Admin Lily have got you covered!

Admin Fif offers you the following tips:

1. Research fonts to find the ones that are most legible.

2. Print 1 or two page test copies for fics to see how the formatting translates.

3. Pick up books at the bookstore and pay attention to what you like and don't like.

Admin Lily offers you a bit of both guidance and resources!

1. Software: adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, layout designer, PDFelement (there are probably guides out there on how to use them)

2. Add onto Fif's third tip, keep in mind how you want the zine to look like. Something that matches the zine’s theme would be best, and keep it consistent. Find graphic design layouts or refer to other zines and make notes

3. Don’t use too many different fonts / font families, and be consistent (a maximum of 2, 3 is ideal). Play with font weights and sizes.

4. Do some basic learning about visual hierarchy. Give priority to the first thing you would like to be seen.

5. If doing printable zines, look up printing guides (from your printer, if available) to know what bleed/safety margins you need to have.

6. If doing digital only PDF, utilize hyperlinks. They’re handy for navigation, especially in content pages.

7. You can find basic guides for most types of publishing software (especially InDesign) on YouTube. It’s recommended to look up topics on doing master pages, pagination, margins/columns & bleeds.

8. Think about whether you are exporting as single pages or spreads or making both options available as it also affects readability (e.g. single pages are easier to read on mobile/tablets and double column texts vs single column).

We hope this helped answer your question! If not, feel free to send in another ask.

Decided to make a collection (yes, list of lists, I know xD) of all the ficrec lists we have on here so far as tumblr's search function decided to Not Work again this week.

Lists below the cut so it can stay up to date and no-one will have incomplete reblogs!

Once upon a time, two weirdos met & fell in love.

The end.

No, but really, that’s the story of how you met.

She was out and about doing some shopping with an adorably sleepy Jennie in tow and happened to pop into a cute little kitschy shop.

Surprise, surprise! She immediately loved everything she saw.

And I do mean everything.

She made the weirdest yet cutest little squeaks, squeals, and “squee’s” at all the little chackis and cards and things.

Jennie was used to it and, like a good friend (unlike a certain somebody, but we’ll get to that), actually encouraged her to keep cooing by pointing out things to her.

You were an aisle over, making the same exact noises.

Your friend, who loves you dearly but hated shopping with you because you make these noises EVERY. SINGLE. TIME, elbowed you because she thought you were being too loud.

Of course, that made you yelp in surprise and you jerked back away from your clearly psychotic friend as you clutched your side but oH NO—

You accidentally collided bumped into someone behind you.

You spun around, ten thousand exclamations of “I AM SO SORRY!!!!!” ready to fly out of your mouth when your eyes landed on her.

Breathing?

What’s that?

Composure?

You don’t know her.

Sanity?

Never knew that, never experienced that—

All you knew was she was easily the C U T E S T thing you had EVER seen!!!!

And wouldn’t you know it...

She felt the exact same way.

Her doe eyes blinked once, twice, thrice as her brain slowly began to function again and then her heart-shaped lips stretched wide into a dazzling grin.

And then, the angel spoke to you—

“You’re really cute!”

[[intense gay panic]]

SHE JUST CALLED YOU CUTE!!!!!!!!

REALLY CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!

AKSDKWOAJFKELKALQIPCZKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankfully, your friend still had fully functional braincells and had the brilliant idea to elbow you AYE-GAIN.

This time, though, it was softer (it still hurt tho) and it kickstarted your own brain cells into working.

You meant to stammer out a “thank you,” you really did.

But that’s not what came out of your lips.

Oh, no.

“Not as cute you,” you boldly returned.

Color you, your friend, Jennie, and Jisoo SHOOK!!!

But shout out to you and that strange bolt of confidence because it landed you an invitation to join her shopping for the rest of the day.

Of course you accepted.

And by the way Jennie and your friend were making eyes at each other, you knew it was gonna be a lovely day.

And it absolutely was.

So lovely in fact that y’all explored every. single. stall. in the marketplace.

By the end of it, you had a pretty decent dent in your account (oops) but her number and the promise to go out again soon.

Really soon.

Like the next afternoon.

And the morning after that.

And the night after that.

And the entire day following that.

And so on and so forth until you were even granted an ID badge that allowed you entry to YG.

The first ever of its kind and all because dear sweet, precious, quirky, all-around adorable Kim Jisoo raised 17 hells day in & day out until the CEO caved just to get her to cease her well-structured & highly thorough powerpoint presentations about the boosting of talent morale if they were allowed more time to see their loved ones and how the company’s financial margins would thus increase since happy talent means more productive talent and what company didn’t want more money, hmmm??????????

An intellectual, truly.

Which was one of the many reasons you loved her so much.

Said list includes:

The way her eyes curve when she smiles

The way she huffs in frustration

The way her hair looks like the most luxurious birds nest when she first wakes up

The way she pouts when Rosé won’t share her snacks

The fact she hid a banana in a shirt on live broadcast

The one time she laughed so hard that some of her smoothie squirted out of her nose

The fact she laughed even harder at that

The way she always seems to know exactly what’s going on with everyone in her life even when she barely has time to focus on herself

The way she never ever takes herself too seriously despite the stresses of her life

The dedication and commitment she has to seeing you EVERY. SINGLE. DAY, whether in person or over face time or through snapchat (most days, it’s a combo of all three)

She’s just such a sweetheart and to think you were blessed enough to be the person she decided to give her heart to

Amazing.

Truly.

So you better cherish her as dearly as she does you, cuz if not....

Well...let’s just say, the girls have many connections, none of which they are afraid to use....and they’ll make your life a living a hell....

But you shouldn’t worry!

Cuz they adore you as much as they do Jisoo because they see just how perfectly matched you two are~

And they would never wanna use said connections cuz it’d mean that true love is actually dead

But you know something?

They don’t even have to worry cuz as long as there are stars in the sky, your heart will only beat for Kim Jisoo

And she feels the exact same way about you.

With the very valid exception of her precious son Dalgom

But you two tie for first in her heart so the statement still kinda stands

Now please

Stop ignoring your girlfriend so she can stop shushing me so y’all can finish watching the latest installment of that hella obscure show on Netflix that is so terrible, it’s amazing

Her death glare is INTENSE okay so yes i’mma little scared rn, I mean look at her!!!
