Join us for a 1-day workshop on hybrid publishing and get started using web-to-print as you experimental publishing method.

What is the workshop about?

The workshop will give an introduction to web-to-print using the paged.js framework.

Printing websites may seem odd at first, but on second thought, web-to-print offers an interesting, challenging, and experimental framework for graphic design. The use of alternative (especially more open and accessible) tools has long been a necessary task within the design community. The openness of Internet technologies therefore provides interesting starting points for rethinking tools in the publishing industry. How can websites be turned into printable, paged publications? How do web and print relate to each other? How does the tool affect aesthetics and the design process?

Since browsers are not natively built to generate paged, printable PDFs, there are frameworks like paged.js that fill the gap and basically turn your browser into an alternative layout tool (+ all the fun you can have with CSS and web technology in general).

 

During the workshop we will be making a small publication, that consists of a website and a printable PDF.

The workshop will be hosted by Julien Taquet at DASH.press.

What is NODE+CODE?

Since 2014, the meetup invites creatives, designers, artists, coders and anyone else interested to a series of events with changing locations and thematic focuses – all related to working with code in design and the arts. We want to build a community of people interested in the creative and critical application of technology in Frankfurt and Rhein-Main.
