Things That Matter For this ongoing project, you produce a series of zines devoted to a thing that matters to you. The zines are composed for a particular public and will be released on a regular basis. You have complete creative control over your productions in terms of medium, style, and content. The only requirement is that these texts be public and for an audience that needs to be persuaded. While you are in creative control of your productions, there are a few basic requirements that all projects must meet. These requirements are largely procedural, keeping us on track and insuring high quality productions every three weeks. Basic components include:
Things That Matter A proposal (1,500 words), which addresses, among other things, the topic to be taken up and its importance; the technologies to be used in producing the texts (e.g., word processor, Photoshop, specialty paper, still camera); features of the texts (specify the kinds of pictures, text, or design elements you will feature—this section should be fairly fleshed out); the specific and concrete audience for this production (i.e., freshman smart phone users, vegan foodies, disabled undergraduates). Additionally, point to two or three specific models for your project.
