Graphic Designer Needed for Zine

Unfortunately, Dunkman is not able to continue with Trading Stories with the Leaves *sob* *boohoo*. However this is a great volunteer opportunity for a graphic designer to dive into the "zine" world of PJ fandom. I've asked Dunkman what is necessary to create the zine like the first issue, and he wrote the following:
software used was Adobe InDesign (for publication layout), Adobe Illustrator (for creation of vector graphics), Adobe Photoshop (raster images, effects, NOT FOR TYPE)
The fanzine should be produced using US Letter size pages but, and this is the crucial part, it cant all be done on Photoshop... well it can but the text wont be crisp and clear and the resulting pdf file-sizes will be enormous (if quality is to be kept). You'll need something like Adobe InDesign, Quark or it could all be done on Illustrator or Freehand MX.
It then has to be produced as a hi-res pdf as well as a web-based lo-res pdf... If it was all done on Photoshop and then a lo-res pdf produced it will look pretty poor. Also a hi-res pdf of a photoshop file will be 10 or more times the file size of the last one.
Also, when you need images for the zine, I suggest to take Dunkman's path

The editorial bit is just about done. We just need to put it in a beautiful form. Anyone up for the experience? Please PM me. Thanks!
