Creating A Narrative Photo/Art Book That Is Unique!
Event Info
This workshop takes place across two sessions:
- Thurs, June 3rd 10am–12pm ET
- Thurs, June 10th 10am–12pm ET
In this 2-day online course we will be exploring ways to tell an exciting narrative in a photo or art book. You’ll learn dynamic techniques for sequencing images, using different “voices” in text through type treatment, collage, drawing and painting, all the way through to imagining unique endpapers. In the second class we’ll be examining ways to make a book one of a kind, while still being part of a collection. This not only makes a book more interesting and valuable but helps price it easier at a point that can yield a profit. This class is designed to help make the most compelling book!
Required Materials
- 5- 8 laser copies of your work/photographs
- Scissors / Xacto blade
- Colored pencils or Sharpie or something to draw with
- Glue stick
