Overview
The final project is to assemble the semester’s work in an online portfolio. It shows how far your work has come; it is evidence that you are a designer.
The Process book is a serious project, and is meant to show how an idea became a finished project. It also shows the ability to organize progress into a storyline: the story of your design journey throughout the weeks in this class.
Learning Outcomes
- The ability to discern and select the best content for an online publication
- Being able to design a book using grid, typography, image editing and pacing skills
- Keeping deadlines, developing craft, maintaining an archive of one’s work
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the work done throughout the semester. It will involve both culling the digital files and adjusting them, and photographing or scanning the printed or analog assets.
- Plan the publication by making a sketched dummy–either on paper or digitally. Make master pages in InDesign, choose the fonts, design a grid or use the Golden Ratio grid. If necessary, make a style book.
- Open a free account on ISSUU.com. This is where the zine will reside.
Due Date(s)
- Updates are due as posted; the final finished book is due on the last day of class, December 18. ALL MUST ATTEND the final critique.
Resources
- Visit ISSUU.COM and conduct a search of COMD 1200 projects to see how others built their process books.
