Project 4 – Instructional Comic (Tying Your Shoe)

Project 4 – Instructional Comic (Tying Your Shoe)

Using only images in sequence, teach us how to tie our shoes. There are multiple methods so choose whichever one you use. The key is to make sure we know how to tie our shoes that way simply by following your visual directions. NO WORDS ARE ALLOWED. You may use arrows, icons, color coding or any other visual cues to make the actions clear. You may also use as many panels and pages as necessary, but try and keep it as simple as possible.

This project begins as an in-class assignment and may be finished for homework. It is due at the beginning of class on 2/6 and will be critiqued in class.

You may work digitally or traditionally, but a digital copy of the image must be emailed to the instructor by 8:30am. Traditionally created work should be scanned at no less than 200 dpi. Name this image “IL220_Lastname_Firstname_Project 4.jpg” or “4a.jpg, 4b.jpg, etc.” (Or PDF)

*Comic pages may be created at any size and any dimensions, but must be presented on an 8.5x11 document. Most comics are created at a size of about 10” x 15” on 11”x17” paper or a similarly sized digital document, and printed at about 6.625” x 10.225”. You may work at a larger size, at actual print size, or at a smaller size (as long as the art looks good), but it must be presented on an 8.5x11 document. (It makes it easier for us to print them for hanging or collect them into a PDF for assessment) Please see me if you have any questions about this.
