How-To Zine
Students were free to use analog, digital, or hybrid illustration methods, encouraging experimentation with tools and materials. Because of the limited space, the project emphasized using illustration as a primary means of communication, rather than relying heavily on text. Many students embraced humor, play, and invented instructions, learning how clarity, pacing, and visual sequencing shape understanding.
As a final step, students printed a copy for each classmate, reinforcing the zine’s role as a shareable, democratic format. Serving as the final project in Illustration I, this assignment brought together technical skill, narrative thinking, and production, giving students hands-on experience in illustration, sequencing, and small-scale publishing.
