Who should attend
Anyone looking for a grounding in editorial design for print, perhaps as a springboard to further learning.

Course Detail
With the advent of the internet, print magazines need to be increasingly innovative to stay relevant and of the moment. Throughout the course, we will look at the history of magazine design, from fanzines and independent publications to major titles. We’ll also examine current trends and innovations in publishing. Practical skills are key, so you will learn about grids and typography, as well as paper and print processes and the relationship between text and image. You will also collaborate with the rest of the group to produce a small publication.

Course Outcomes
With the rest of the group, you’ll have produced a small publication. You’ll understand the design process from raw content to printed matter, and appreciate aspects such as page grids, type hierarchies, typography for legibility and working with text and image.
