Project Outcome: Short Comic Stories
Project Description: This self-initiated project focused on creating short comic book stories that conveyed meaningful life lessons such as “one step at a time” and “it’s okay to rest.” Over the course of the year-long, 90+ hour project, the student explored existing creators on social media for inspiration and developed the idea of illustrating life lessons in a creative format that had not been widely attempted before. They designed engaging, easy-to-read comic narratives of three to four pages each, combining storytelling and illustration to make these messages accessible and appealing to a broad audience. The completed comics were prepared for sharing on social media, fulfilling the project’s purpose of delivering thoughtful life lessons in a visually engaging and relatable manner.
