Self-Publishing for Artists
Through the practice of self-publishing, artists can learn how to spread their art and ideas in a sustainable, cost-effective, and tangible way. This was a course offered at my school, Pomona College, during the Spring 2019 semester. The course focused on artist's books as an art form. We created "zines", books, pamphlets, posters, and a wide variety of other forms of publications. Over the course of the semester, I became proficient in Adobe InDesign and Photoshop, and I familiarized myself with the use of the scanner, photocopier, and Risograph machine. Not to mention, I explored a variety of book-binding and paper-handling techniques. Each book has 20 editions.
