    A zine is often a handmade publication, printed in a limited edition, using a copy machine, home laser, or inkjet printer. A Photo Zine is a tool that photographers can use to tell stories, express ideas, ask questions, or build portfolios and books. In this course, taught by renowned photographer and zine maker Craig Mammano, participants will work to identify the type of project they have and create project folders of their images along with any supporting source material. Using work prints, students will edit, sequence and layout their photographs. You’ll explore three different zine formats and binding techniques, progressing from individual image files and single sided printing with no folding to duplex printed, folded zines requiring page layout software. As the projects progress, participants will design covers and packaging for their zines. Throughout the course the group will consider photo zine and book presentations, with hands-on demonstrations, discussions, and practice.

    Participants will be expected to print their work and complete their zines outside of class and are encouraged to utilize the print services available at PCNW. Basic zine-making tools will be provided. During the first session we will review the requirements for preparing 32 work prints for the second meeting in order to begin exploration of layout, editing and sequencing.
