P4dA & bdA
Let’s Make a ZINE!
<— index – p4dA – 110_schedule —>
coding students in DMS 110:
Programming for Digital Art
text for context
— reading for group activity on 4/5 —
zine deliverables due Friday, 4/28:
3 – 5 digital images
should span a range of your generative art project
to export screen, see Dave’s email or his example link on the coding resources Box Note on exporting screen
text file, including these four elements:
an accompanying 150-300 word statement as a text file (see note below)
personal info:
full, preferred name
academic year & major(s)/minor(s)
1–2 preferred contacts (email, @insta, website, etc)
title of work (or “Untitled”)
URL that links to Zine project
for final project continuation, make sure to make a new version (keep the zine link the same)
—> UB Box folder for submission <—
This 150–300 word text (for the physical, printed Zine) should be two paragraphs (in this order):
a project statement
an artist statement
Both of these should align to generative art. Think of your education background, inspiration that brought you to this project, and any creative decisions that you made that brought you to this conclusion (influence taken from the process, classmate input, etc). Essentially, “why this” and “who are you?”
Note: if you want to leave more room for images, have a short version of your text for print and then in the code comments (at the top of your code) you can add an extended description. Really depends on what you want readers to get out of their review of your work in the zine.

design students in DMS 121:
Basic Digital Arts
Description:
For this task, a select few students will collaborate to design a unified template for this interdisciplinary zine project to feature generative artworks of your peers created in the DMS 110 coding class.
The zine will additionally contain a cover, an introduction page that contains a brief text description of the zine, a table of contents, and an acknowledgments section.
The design constraints for the artist’s pages are as follows:
Single page size is 5.5” x 8.5” (a full spread is two single pages)
For each spread, the artist statement and the QR code must be located on one page, and the artwork must be located on the other page
Margins for text and images must be ¼” from the edges of each page
Body text is 12 point
