FANZINES EDITING WORKSHOP:
Theme: Typographic Resources of DIY Subcultures
CONTEXTUALIZATION:
The term fanzine is a combination of Fan (as an enthusiast or follower) and Zine (from magazine). It applies to non-commercial publications with a more underground tone, which usually serve as a vehicle for dissemination, exchange of ideas, or expression of opinion.
They are prolific in music and comic book scenes and are typically self-published and produced with simple resources and low budgets. This type of publication became popular in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, although it appeared earlier. Nowadays, there is a resurgence of this practice, which holds a certain appeal for fans of grunge design and alternative printed publications.
DESCRIPTION:
An introduction to the concept of independent publications will be given, along with demonstrations of some examples of small press publications.
We will present various printing resources commonly used in fanzines or artist books and demonstrate different ways to edit content, perform pagination and imposition, as well as the necessary preparations for printing.
Participants will be invited to create some illustrations based on typographic resources used in alternative fanzines, punk and underground styles from the 70s, 80s, and 90s of the last century. The result of the various compositions will be edited and reproduced during the workshop in A5 fanzine format.
At the end, each participant will take home the result of this collective work!
