Description
I whipped up this little tutorial for those who have asked how to set up or make their own mangas/comics and or booklets, when I was in college we learned how to hand make our own books to understand the layout and process.They layout is the most important part when it comes to printing it and the next part of the tutorial will show how to do a simple saddle stitch binding. on your own only using two staples and a ruler.
This is the sort of thing I do at work all day, and yes for every book we make before it goes into the printing machines, we have to do a mock up by hand to make sure the page order is correct, so this is a good skill to learn if you wish to go into any sort of creative field and really is a lot of fun once you learn it since you can then make your own books easy

Oh I hated to do that by hand during my apprenticeship XD. Good that I don't need to do Impositions in my daily job.

LOL!!! oh yes actually when you work in Pre-Press we have lots of fancy Imposition software that does it for you, and even accommodates for page creep, but if its just a few pages I do it manually for fun LOL

Once upon a time, there was a main character. Then a plot happened. Then more shit. Then the shit was resolved. Then a twist happened and more shit happened too. Then s/he resolved the shit for real. Then s/he fell in love with a character from earlier in the story and everyone was happy.

I cant tell you how many times I am working on files at work from very high end companies and they suddenly at the last minuet call and say "Hey can you just add one page to this?" and I scream "NO I CAN"T!!!! I just impositioned this and you will WRECK IT!!!" but then I have to magically find a way to do it when they offer to pay more to make it happen.

your welcome...its a bit tricky, and its made much easier if you can see it layed out...even though this is my job, I still sometimes need a little reminder guide so I dont mix up my pages especially in jobs with over 100 pages LOL
