10 Snap N Zine Sem 1

In this course, you'll learn all the key skills that will set you up for success in senior photography. Get ready to create a fantastic self publication called a ‘Zine’ specifically for Marlborough teens, where you'll showcase your awesome ideas and designs. You will also get the opportunity to work with Adobe suits, where you'll master the art of design and editing. You'll also have the opportunity to collaborate and work in small groups, unleashing your creativity together to create an amazing ‘Zine’.

Discover Photography Through Design:

You’ll begin the course by learning digital photography basics, using cameras and Photoshop to create a layered self-portrait journal cover. Then, you'll explore the elements of photography (line, contrast, texture, balance, etc.) through a scavenger hunt on school grounds. You’ll edit and annotate your best shots using Photoshop, learning to “make” rather than just take photos.

Create a Zine and Develop Your Style:

As your skills grow, you'll learn layout design and create a personal photography zine. Later projects include photo manipulations inspired by Marcelo Monreal and Andreas Lie, double exposure portraits, and a David Hilliard-inspired photo story. Each task builds your technical skill and visual voice, culminating in a zine showcasing your best work.
