Graphic Workshop with Joe Sacco

Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 3:00pm to 4:30pm

Graphic storytelling, journalism and non-fiction novels are all the rage. Joe Sacco is one of the leading illustrator/authors in this field, with a long list of awards for his publications. Sacco inserts himself back into his hitness narratives creating both dynamic and reflexive reportings from many contemporary war zones and occupation sites such as Bosnia (The Fixer) and Palestine (Footnotes in Gaza). Having taken on American poverty (Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt) Sacco is currently working on a new book about mineral extraction rights and the Dene First Nations.

Students will learn how to apply filters, blending options and tools to create realistic 3D spaces using layers. At the end of session, each student will have a Photoshop collage that looks almost like a photograph. They will have also gained valuable knowledge about how to use tools beyond what may appear to be used for, and figure out a technique specific to how each individual works. Students should bring a laptop computer to the workshop and, if possible, a drawing tablet. Students can also bring digital photographs to use in their collage, though a sample pack of photographs will also be provided.

Retouching skin, colour, and texture in Photoshop with Jon Kim:
Students will learn how to create a mask that separates the image into a colour layer and a texture layer (high frequency separation mask). This allows you to be able to edit the colours of an image without damaging or changing the texture and vice-versa. The workshop will begin by demonstrating the potential uses of high frequency separation masks and afterward, participants will follow along with a step-by-step process of creating the layers. After the step-by-step demonstration, participants will then be given the chance to try it out on their own with raw files provided by Jon. Students should bring a laptop computer to the workshop.
