A local biweekly newspaper made in Scribus from December 2009 (following Corel Ventura 8). Printing to paper has been done by a printing house from PDF files without any problems. Half of each issue are full color pages, the leftover is black-white (mainly 16 pages issues, sometimes 24 pages). Started with Scribus 1.5 SVN, but now it is made with Scribus 1.3.8 due to performance in text editing. Advertisements have been made with CorelDRAW (as JPG files), text files arrive in Word format and are converted with Open Office including some cleanup. The sudoku game is made with Inkscape as an EPS file. The big advantage of migrating to Scribus is the Short Words plugin - Ventura has not such a feature at all. | |||

Naji Gòchë, a social and culture magazine in Polish and Kashubian language
Reporter: cezaryece
Date: March, 2010
Home Page
Issue 42, Winter 2010 (PDF)
Previously magazine was done in Corel Ventura 8, but due to hyphenation problems we decide to leave it and last issue (Winter 2010) was made with Scribus 1.5 (from SVN) without major problems. It has 155 pages full of text and photos. It was not printed (only for electronic distribution) due to low founds, but in the near future we plan to go back to paper issue.
Moje miasto, a biweekly magazine in Polish language
Reporter: cezaryece
Date: March, 2010
A local biweekly newspaper made in Scribus from December 2009 (following Corel Ventura 8). Printing to paper has been done by a printing house from PDF files without any problems. Half of each issue are full color pages, the leftover is black-white (mainly 16 pages issues, sometimes 24 pages). Started with Scribus 1.5 SVN, but now it is made with Scribus 1.3.8 due to performance in text editing. Advertisements have been made with CorelDRAW (as JPG files), text files arrive in Word format and are converted with Open Office including some cleanup. The sudoku game is made with Inkscape as an EPS file. The big advantage of migrating to Scribus is the Short Words plugin - Ventura has not such a feature at all.
AllYearbooks 2010 Information Pack
Reporter: Jake Gordon
Date: February, 2010
AllYearbooks is a leading yearbook producer in the UK. We had been weighing up InDesign vs Scribus for some time but with version 1.3.6 Scribus really took the lead for us. We created this information pack (marketing material) entirely in house. We used Scribus 1.3.6svn as it included important features and bug fixes which we required.
Our information pack is 48 pages long, and as we needed to create it as quick as possible we created 5 smaller files with up to 10 pages each, rather than working with one big file. This enabled two of us to work on the pack concurrently, connecting to a Samba share over 1Gbps ethernet.
After sending the document to be printed in both paperback and laminated hardback forms, I used the 'import page' feature to collate the five files into one, to make future revisions more logical.
You can find also download the PDF of the information pack, which was exported using Scribus' PDF export tool with all images compressed to a maximum of 72dpi.
