Describe the Assignments and Goals : The Fanzine project was about basically creating a poster, magazine, or slides as a magazine looking article or magazine. About basically any topic you desire. It can be designed in mostly any way. Mines is a colorful one about surfing that I used a surf magazine to help put it together. My friends one was black and white and it came out very nice. But in the end, my goal was to just have fun making it and unlock more creativity.
Why did you choose this Project for your Portfolio : I chose this project for my portfolio because of how fun it was basically. It was a lot, but in the end it was really worth every bit of it. Another reason is because of how new it was to all of us and taught us new things. It is also pretty interesting to talk about and describe.
How it Represents 21st Century Skills : First off, a great reason this represents 21st century skills is the skills of creativity. This project was full of creativity. Putting my fanzine together took a lot of creativity when coming up with what topic I wanted to do then going on about what part and how am I going to make it fully work. Creativity came in when I had to decide what specific colors and pictures I wanted to do.
How it shows my Current Growth : It shows my current growth because it opens my mind to more creative options and ideas to choose from and help my mind process way more than it used to. Every time we have projects like the Fanzine, it opens up my creativity part of my mind and strengthens it.
Area of Opportunity for New Growth : I am used to making these types of projects on computers. Using google to find photos and using slides to create the project. But new growth, I am using magazines and cutting out pictures and words from articles to create the titles on the paper I'm using. So it helps me grow into using non digital things to do my project on.
