We had an Induction on Indesign before we started the art book. Basically the art book is our blog, we can put our research, pre-production work in and present with some words and mostly pictures. I have used Indesign a long time ago but have forgotten completely now therefore this is a good opportunity to pick up Indesign again since it is so useful to create zines or any booklet-form work.
It is very easy to use. Most of the features are similar to photoshop or illustrator. Choose how many pages you want and it automatically sort out the double pages and the covers. There is a thing call A-Master which is like creating a style and apply it across the book. For instant, a name at the footer and it will appear in every page. (Not just A-master, B/C we can add more templates)
We made a 3mm bleed, an extra space prevent cropping the images out or make sure the image reach the edges.
I searched for zines design and most of them are very simple. One simple and bold image on one page and some pages could even be blank to let the other images stands out. Since I do not have much to show.... It might be a good idea to make it artistic and simple(being smart and cheeky:D)
