Creating Your Own Photo Zine with Jeff Phillips (Online Learning – Three Sessions)

About

Online Learning Class via Zoom

A photo zine is most often a hand-made, self-published book that is easy and inexpensive to create. Zines offer exciting potential as a platform for creative expression and as a democratized platform that can help get your work out into the world.
 
Further, in the online age a photo zine can fulfill the desire to hold, feel, and sense a tangible art object. Photo zines can help artists raise awareness about their work, piercing through the daily digital noise. Making a photo zine can also help you test the waters if you plan to publish a photo book.
 
In this comprehensive course, creators at all skill levels will learn to design, construct, and publish a photo zine, while having a lot of fun during the process. Topics covered will include:
 
* Receive a tour of the zine universe, so that we can understand what’s possible

* Take a deep-dive into photozine design and construction, with easy-to-follow live demonstrations

* Get hands-on experience making a small book, including folding and binding techniques

* Learn to reinvigorate your stalled or unfinished bodies of work in a contemporary style

* Revitalize older bodies of work, transforming them with a contemporary format and style

* Receive quick-start templates that will have you making photozines by the end of the first session

* Learn how to make a zine using Photoshop, InDesign or Lightroom — or using no software at all

* Explore printing and publishing options for your zine, including using your home printer or commercial service

* Learn how distribute and sell your zines, to get them out into the world
