Zine

Goal:  In Illustrator create a 12 page booklet with a theme. Use all of the tools show in class. 



1. Read up on how Zines are made.

2. Write down some topic ideas. Sample Zine Topics:
Single page gags, theme gags, your own version of a fairy tale, story about an event that happened to you, illustrate a song, present a recipe with how to instructions, your favorite TV show, family history, ABC book, talk about your favorite hobby, describe something you have collected. 

3. Pick one you really believe in, if you don’t like it, the project will turn into a ball and chain.

4. (imagine this in flaming letters forty feet high) 
Write your story before drawing it.

5. Create in a style that is doable and will not take a trillion years. Using a pencil, sketch, draw what and how you want the design of your booklet to look like in the blank book provided. At the bottom of each page note the tools or effects from illustrator that you think you may use on that page. Example of tools we have used: (Blob brush, pen tool, brush, shape builder tool, eraser, text, type on path, type in shape, 3-D extrusion tool, envelope distort, effects filter, importing images, sampling a palette from a photo, create a custom brush, mesh tool, pattern).   

6. Firm clean lines will save you from the drudgery of having to clean up messy drawing.

7. Draw what you know….. If not, get educated about the subject before you do.

8. If you plan on drawing realistic characters, make sure you understand the human form. Look at books, tutorials, use the internet!

9. Set your self some rules for your project… Example: All my drawings will be done neat and clean on paper and only cleanup work and coloring should be done on the computer.

10. Set up your Artboards, using the template provided. (It's in the class folder)

11. First pencil draft is due at the end of class  October 27.

12. Export the work as pg.1, pg. 2, and so on. 

13. Export the work as a PNG. and in CMYK mode.

14. All exported artwork must be at a minimum of 300 dpi.

15. Once the work is done the pages will be compiled in ADOBE for printing.
