About this Event
Zine Making with Creative Coding
In this workshop we will look at using the web browser to design and make real zines for printing. Using p5.js we will look at p5.genzine, a library of code created by Munus Shih and Iley Cao.
We will look at zine making, browse the Leicester Zine Library collection and find some inspiration. The second part of the workshop will be collecting digital materials. We will take and prepare images and get them ready for the web
Bring your own files, or use free online repositories like Gif Cities, Texture Town, King PNG, etc.
Finally we will look at the code examples provided from the library and spend some time making and printing our zines!
Knowledge of P5.js would be a big help but is absolutely not essential

- Is interested in zine making
- Has interest in the creative web.

This workshop is not for someone who:
- Expects a formal learning environment.
- Wants to be a professional web developer.
