This new project-based group meets every other week and is for people who want to move forward on a photobook or zine using InDesign. We'll go beyond the basics into technical details involved with each students' individual project, and we'll take a deeper look at design esthetics with a good amount of group feedback.

We’ll discuss developing your visual concept to fit your specific story, including binding options, different kinds of paper, sequencing, storytelling forms, and more. We'll look at productive workflow ideas, how to use the most important InDesign tools to achieve more complex designs, troubleshooting, and how to prepare, import, and resize photos. We’ll go deeper into working with text, fonts, and typography, and you’ll be supported in finding the best printer for your project and sending it off to print. We’ll also look at a variety of zines and photobooks for design inspiration and discuss different design ideas. This class will help bring your photobook/zine to the next level, and help you feel more confident and knowledgable in creating book projects with InDesign.

This class is limited to 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.
