Coupon/fundraiser book help

Postby me2 » Mon Oct 26, 2009 8:38 am

Hello,

I have been using(limited) inkscape for a few years from time to time. We have a project that I would like to use inkscape for but not sure how to get started. We are designing and printing a small booklet that will be printed on 8.5x11 6 up, so they will measure 2.833333" x 5.50" each and be fitted to a letter size sheet. Is it better to just start out with a box measuring 2.83333 x 5.5 and draw the ad out one at a time or try to make a template with 6 up and do them all at once? I thought about just drawing one up at a time not paying much attention to size and simply scaling them to fit once all done, which way is easier? How do you guys do it? I haven't done much drawing like this in years and years and can't get going. This is going to help our local schools raise some money and I'm glad to do it just need a good kick start :lol: . These will be on white paper with just black text to keep costs down so nothing fancy really. Thank you for any help you can give.

I'd do them one by one and then use Scribus to make the booklet.
