This cute picture showed this woman’s mood and emotion successfully. The contrast between the hand drawn typography and clear photography often make the designs standing out.

A Page from Matt Fraction and David Aja’s ‘Hawkeye’

This page from Hawkeye is a fantastic depiction of using pictures and text together to flesh out a characters perspective to the audience. The entirety of this comic issue is told from the perspective not of the man, but the Dog, Lucky. Aja and Fraction do a great job of distorting text and using symbols to show how Lucky thinks while still keeping the audience in the loop.

A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, 2009, is this young man's birthday. Though it was thirteen years ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given a name! What will the name of this young man be?

This is the first page from the iconic webcomic Homestuck by Andrew Hussie.

set task week 2: reportage drawing by charlotte ager, for culture trip

i think the little bits of added text from overheard conversation bring the drawing to life and make it feel like a real snapshot of a live scene instead of just a still visual. the way the text is presented also gives it a sense of movement, as if you can almost see the words floating away after they’re spoken.

[ASSIGNMENT] ImageText Zine

Based on your readings of “Introduction to Zines” and “Bibliocircuitry the Design of the Alien Everyday” and your viewings in special collections of paper magic in Special Collections, (e.g. 3D glasses, pop-ups, QR codes, augmented reality), you will construct your own zine persuading your reader to join your cause to bring magic to people's lives. In order to persuade, you will also need to explain details about the project.

Option 1: Recruit for an an already existing project (Streetlight at UF Health, Dance Marathon, UF GRiP, Gator Pals)

Option 2: Design and propose your own project to bring magic to people's lives through creativity and/or technology. These can be small random acts of kindness or sustained projects. Play to your strengths and interests.

As mentioned in the reading, the format of zines are up to you. You may incorporate photocollage, hand-drawn illustrations, royalty-free images, etc. Pay careful attention to your layout and design based on your readings “Thinking With Type: Letter, Text, Grid, Extras.” QR codes can help you link to URLs if the project already has a website, pop-ups can create visual interest, paper glasses can reveal hidden images, HP Reveal can add 3D models, images, or text to your book, paper circuits can illuminate specific points.

I recommend designing in Canva custom dimensions (5.5x8.5″) (multiples of 4, 16 minimum), exporting as PDF Print, and printing as booklet on 8.5x11″. There may be slight registration issues, so it is best to design with extra white space to allow for printing margin errors.
