Learn InDesign so that you can layout and design your own photobook or zine. This class is for students who are new to InDesign or who want a refresher. In this 6-session class, we’ll discuss developing a visual concept to fit your specific story, and cover step-by-step instructions on workflow, how to best plan and setup a project, how to use the most important InDesign tools, and how to prepare, import and resize photos. We’ll discuss working with text, fonts, and typography, and you’ll learn to speak the language of printers and designers. You’ll also get recommendations for where to print your particular project. We’ll look at a variety of zines and photobooks for design inspiration and discuss different design ideas. Through weekly assignments, students will work on their projects so that by the end of class, you will have a layout of your book or zine. This class is limited to only 6 students. We’ll meet as a group for 5 sessions, followed by a private 1-on-1 session to work together on your specific book or zine.

Presented in conjunction with The Photobook: Structure and Meaning.
