For our first big project, we'll be making zines! Zines are a fantastic art form, related to other kinds of publications such as artist books and broadsides, but also political publications, fan art, and poetry. Generally, we think of zines as being low-tech and cheap to produce, often printed on photocopiers or laser printers with a simple binding. But, like all art forms, zines also have a long and varied history and come in all shapes, sizes, and styles.
In our case, we'll be merging the tradition of zines with code. Your assignment is to create a zine using only p5.js code, then print and bind at least two copies in the Fab Lab. We'll take a look at adding fonts and typography to your code, how to export for print, as well as some simple binding and finishing techniques.
The goal here is for you to...
- make something with code that becomes physical
- experiment with sequence and flow across multiple pages
- learn to use typography in
p5.js - get comfortable using an external editor
