The world of online publishing offers an exciting myriad of options for artists. The  tools and technology are readily available to create self-published materials from zines to books and portfolios. Publishing your work has never been so easy. 

Young artists in this workshop will discover and explore the lo-fi and hi-fi creative possibilities of digital publishing with Adobe Lightroom and Blurb.  We will investigate traditional and contemporary design and layout, cover the essentials of workflow and color management, and explore books for inspiration.

In addition to learning the software, participants study and explore the full realm of bookmaking including indie pubs, editing, sequencing, layouts, text, and paper options. Students can anticipate completing one book project by class end.  Students should have a rough idea about a book that they would like to make.

Computer literacy and access to a computer with Adobe Lightroom Classic installed and running are required. Students will also need access to a credit card to place their book order with Blurb.

Class meets on Zoom Monday-Friday 1-5pm EDT. Students meet individually with instructor in the am for 0.5 hours
