Ornamental Text Layout

Ornamental Text Layout

16.10.24 17-20.30 h 100€

Learn how to make a quick and experimental layout for your text! 

Participants will create their own ornaments scanning in analogue cut-outs, collages and ephemera. With those elements – plus the extensive archive of the workshop leaders – and the text you have brought, you will then create an A4 Layout in InDesign. The 2 colored designs will be printed with Riso.

Participants will get an insight into a research-based design approach, learn how to work with the scanner as a design tool, get basic knowledge of InDesign, learn how to set up and export your files for Risoprinting and learn how to print with the Risograph both analogue and digitally.

Participants need to bring their own laptop with InDesign and Photoshop and a text. No prior experience with InDesign needed.

The workshop is lead by SM Studio. SM Studio is the London-based collaborative design practice of Molly Cranston and Safiye Gray. They work across print, book design and intertwined image-text. Their approach is guided by deep friendship, intuitive making processes and expansive research.
