Printing donations for Book design workshop

I have been asking around to various publishers and book printing companies for some commercial signatures to help illustrate some aspects of my pending Introduction to Photo Book Design workshop. A signature is somewhat foreign to photographers who have not been involved in commercial printing of a book; a printed sheet printed on a litho press which has multiple pages (images) that once folded and trimmed will become the interior pages of a photobook.

I am happy to announce that I have some really great signature donations from my friends at Dual Graphics (Brea, CA) and Peanut Press (David Carol and Ashly Stohl). These samples will really help illustrate my discussion regarding aspects of a commercially printed photobook; one-sided, two-sided signatures and what the resulting photobook (David Carol’s No Plan B, 2016 published by Peanut Press). Again, my sincere thanks to both Dual Graphics and Peanut Press!

Also some good news: there is still room for a couple more photographers and book makers to join me in what should be an interesting workshop: This will be held in conjunction with the Los Angeles Center for Photography (LACP), Introduction to Photo Book Design: two consecutive Saturdays (April 1st and 8th, 2017) at the LACP facilities in Los Angeles.
