WHO ARE WE?
JAYU is a Toronto-based charity dedicated to sharing human rights stories through the arts. The iAM Program program offers equity-deserving youth ages 12-29 free arts mentorship.
iAM programs are free and designed for young artists between the ages of 12 – 29 living in Ontario with no previous experience required. Equity-deserving is inclusive of Black and racialized folks, people with disabilities, Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit and Métis), 2-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer (2SLGBTQ+), newcomers to Canada and people experiencing homelessness or precarious housing.
PROGRAM DETAILS
Let’s learn how to turn ideas into powerful visuals using the Adobe Creative Suite.
Over 8 weeks, we’ll plan, design, and prep files for printing to make fun, zine pages in different types of paper. We’ll explore how different colours print on various types/coloured paper, what fonts work best digitally vs printed, and testing printing images to explore different edits best for paper.
At the end of the program, you’ll walk away with a layered zine, printed on different paper pages and types, bound stitched and ready to be flipped through!
