Sequencing Images for Zines

This workshop focuses on sequencing with regard to the Photobook and Photographic Zine, however we’ll also consider the importance of sequencing in portfolios, on websites and in exhibitions.

The session will allow participants to develop and understand how layout affects the ‘rhythm’ of a publication, and how that in turn affects the flow of, and reading of a visual narrative.

Participants will need fifteen to twenty of their own printed images to work with, we recommend four to a sheet of A4 printer paper.

If you don’t have access to a printer, please email them to [email protected] in jpeg format by November 12th to allow us time for preparation, and we will print them for you.

Access

Important physical access info:

Please note that this session is upstairs. We are in the process of installing a lift, however due to unforeseen delays this is now due to be completed November 2024, but could change. The event space is up a single flight of 14 steps then you go around the corner and there are two small steps. Once you’re upstairs there’s a loo. You shouldn’t need to come downstairs for anything until the end of the activity.

If you can’t do the stairs and need to be on the ground floor, please let us know 10 days before the session and we will move the activity.
