Zine Workshop
with Andrew D McClees
September 11th, September 25th, and October 9th, from 6-9pm
This workshop is a skill building course to explore producing your own small run, low-cost photo publication that can be made at home or on an office copier (or outsource to a print shop) to distribute to friends, family, and beyond - for fun and (maybe) profit.
The three session zine workshop breaks down the fundamentals for selecting and sequencing images, organizing and developing your layout, learning the proper settings for printing, and approaches to distribution.
There are three important items you’ll need to get started.
30-50 printed photos (4”x6” recommended) you are considering for your photozine
Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, or an alternative way of making a PDF of your images
A willingness to learn and exchange feedback!
Options for proof prints and software:
Print your images at home, or at varying degrees of cost at: Hunt’s Photo, Shutterfly, Adorama, or a local Walgreens or CVS
