Rust Publishing - Dummy Lab

Consultation 1 × 90 min — 120 EUR

For people who want to bring order to their project and gain an outside perspective with concrete recommendations. During the session we can focus on image selection, sequencing and narrative rhythm, publication format, project readability and artistic direction, or preparation for an open call.

You will leave with a clear vision of next steps and recommendations for the development of your project.

Consultation package 3 × 90 min — 320 EUR

The package works as an express version of the full book-making process:

General consultation + sequencing | Refining the sequence + conversation about form | Book design x technical matters

You will leave with a sequence draft, concrete examples of formal and technical solutions, recommendations for print preparation, and an action plan.

Full Dummy Mentoring 6 × 90 min — 1500 EUR

Full project guidance from material to print-ready PDF.

For people who want to create a hotography book at a professional level, working through the process with regular support and leaving with a finished print-ready file.

Within the mentoring we guide you through the process in the same way we work on our own books, and thanks to six sessions we gain more time for the project to mature and for in-depth work. You will leave with a print-ready PDF and a full understanding of the process.
