Our next and FINAL project of the semester for Intro to Graphic Design is to produce a 'zine' that is a 'How To...' instructional guide. We are to use text and illustration. Use graphical devices that support communication in instructional design. No printed color will be allowed but rather color in materials or alternative coloring techniques. We are to use a non-book insert within our 'zine' and an appropriate binding technique to our project. The format and scale of the final product will suit the content.
My 'zine' of choice will be 'How to Make A Quilt Block.' I'm still deciding on the particular type of quilt block, the look and feel overall of the project, so more information is yet to come.
What is a 'ZINE?' A 'zine' is an informal hand-made magazine. 'Zines' are usually produced in short runs and given out for FREE or traded rather than sold. Their content is often personal, artistic, and anything other than what is found in mainstream commercial magazines. The format and materials used in the 'zine' are often as creative as the content.
More to come....please check back SOON!
