The How To Design a Photobook Workshop is an opportunity for photographers, interested in designing and producing their own books, to understand and work through the steps of taking their work off the screen and into print. Over the two-day intensive workshop, we will explore and discuss concept development, the building of a visual layout, typographic and cover treatments, and production preparation.

Through online presentations, tutorials, assignments, and one-on-one development, participants will think deeply about the creative choices behind their intended outcome and apply these strategies to best realize their intentions through both design and materials.

The workshop will cover a brief reference of contemporary and historical design strategies, as well as look at books designed by Lamotte for practical insight into various approaches. We will discuss and explore everything from lo-fi artist zines to offset-printed and bound photobooks.

During the workshop, each participant will present their own idea to the class and work to bring their project to life using InDesign (or other layout software). Throughout the workshop, Lamotte will help develop a practical plan for production and give advice as to how to produce your physical book through various local or online printers. The workshop will culminate with a group presentation of participants’ newly designed photography books.

This workshop is open for anyone who has an existing photographic series that they would like to make into a book. It’s preferable if you have already edited and sequenced the work from Ceschel’s workshop the weekend before, but it isn’t necessary. Previous experience of using InDesign is helpful but not required for participation, there will be an optional crash-course tutorial for those who need assistance.
