Photobook Progress VI

So finally the dummy book is printed!

This time I decided to put it together with staples I decided not to stitch it as it would be more difficult to find a suitable stitching technique...

Below I have included a snapshot of the process of paper testing ...

Take a look at the finished product below!

Thoughts on Funding and Distributing

So! Today passed the research I decided to retrace my steps to the last few months of my studies of the second year. I decided to take another look on the material I was given. Fortunately I saved every file and so now I can revisit it at any time. without further ado today’s second post regards funding and distribution of the self publication.

There are a few strategies we use in order to market the book forward. There are three stages in each one has a sub categorical task.

There is the preproduction stage where you start marketing even before you start making the book;

This includes active on social media getting the first reactions doing some public engagement in building an audience.

The second stage is while in production it’s to keep your blog feed regular.

This includes share progress and share all the possible references.

And the third is while still in production stage but outside of the production sphere;

this includes create some posters press release and launch events.

Finally the most difficult part comes out to play. Doesn’t belong to any of the three stages mentioned.

It’s the stage of distribution; when distributing a self publication you need to be able to identify the best collaboration between the artist and a bookshop gallery library et cetera. However in the distribution stage there is also the direct sale but that will be explained in another post
