Mini-Workshop
Sending Your Photobook or Zine to Print: An Overview of the Process
Holding your own printed photobook or zine in your hands can be really satisfying — but how do you get there? Jump into this broad overview of the process, from conception to sending it off to the printers. We’ll talk about what you should consider along the way, including getting started on the design (whether you do it yourself or work with a designer), preparing your images, types of book and zine formats and bindings, tips on how to decide on which printing company to use, and the printing process. By the end of this one-hour mini-workshop, you should have a good introduction to what’s involved as you move your photobook or zine from an idea to an object. Questions are encouraged in this interactive session.
