An overview of the 4 days:

On Day 1 you will get an introduction to riso printing, and we will look at the basics of creating a zine. I will give an overview of how to plan your zine and tips & tricks of what to keep in mind during your the design of your pages.

You will also have time to brainstorm ideas and plan the content of you zine.

Day 2 - Wed 26th of Jan

On day 2 you will put together your zine and we will make decisions about colours, fonts and overall details. We will go into the technical aspect of preparing your files for riso printing. The aim will be to have your pages ready in separate layers and to print your first ‘dummy’.

On day 3 the plan is to start printing!

This last day is on a Saturday, so we can finish printing and start the folding & binding process!
