Venice Arts- Residency- Issa Sharpe- 12 Hours
I came in twice this week prior to the class to help out with printing. Each year, Venice Arts does an exhibition to highlight the work of its students. I spent about four hours on both Monday and Tuesday printing student work. Issa and I have very different styles of editing for print, so it took a bit of collaboration to get to a point we both agreed on. Eventually, I got pretty used to the style she was going for. That being said, we didn't do any major adjustments to the photos taken, just adding contrast, lightening, and/or sharpening in order to make it look the best in print. I think this was good practice if I ever get a job as an inkjet printer somewhere.
In class, we had a productive day. Students finished writing articles for their future predictions. They also chose five photos they took that most complement their article. After having all the content gathered, they placed the article and photos into a pre-designed InDesign document.
Next week is our last week of class, and we will be printing the zines.
