Final In Depth - Narrative - Got Misery? - The milk industry

got misery?

My narrative goes in depth of the milk industry and all the lies and
deceit  companies spread to the world. My goal is to show the world what is really
Happening behind close factory doors.

I made a tag for each of my teachers and numbered them hopefully it is obvious why you all got your 

Number when they are all next to eachother if not try calling Jenny 😜

Zine Process

This was my original sketch for my Zine and how I was planning to set it up. 

And these are some ideas on how I am going to wrap them.


I made my Zine on PowerPoint so the first time I printed it, it didn't print correctly when I folded it so I had to re-due the pages and print again  so below is a video of my first zine I made and printed. It is not the final version so it has some mistakes and I re made it about 5 times.

                             This is what they looked like not printed but this is not the final version.

                                                           (back)                                  (cover)  

                                                       (p.8)                                             (p.1)

                                                       (p.2)                                          (p.7)

                                                              (p.6)                                   (p.3)

                                                            (p.4)                                    (p.5)

After talking to Ralph he told me to be more subtle and get rid of most of  the text and let the pictures speak for themselves. Which is what I am going to try to do in my Final version Zine. 

Component C/C- Container and Context - Package Proposal

 This was my original sketch of how I wanted my box/container/package to look. sorta like a barn. I originally wanted it made of wood but then later decided metal would be better, I'll write more about that below.

 Sorry for all the really bad doodles but that's how I work usually I start building pretty quickly. These are different ways i thought of putting everything in my box.

This was my final decision on how I'm going to set it up. 

 This is my check list of some of the stuff I need to get. 

Ralph's suggestions.

I originally planned to make a wooden dome shaped box that opens but my topic is about the milk industry and animal rights so when talking to Ralph about my ideas he suggested using lunchboxes the old school metal ones. Metal because they are cold and wood is more warming and homey and that is definitely not a factory farm. I think the lunch boxes work on two levels they kinda are shaped like a barn but at the same time its like a lunch and I'm sure a lot of peoples lunches consist of dairy or meat products. I found the perfect ones to use for my art pieces. 

Final Product:

The boxes latch shut which I think works good because it can symbolize how cows are locked up. (the bag next to the lunchboxes s a bunch of little cows I will be using)

Book fair Lecture #2 Keith Knight

The second lecture I went to was They Shoot black people, Don't they? What this lecture was about, a cartoonist named Keith Knight. Who showed a slideshow of his cartoons that show brutality and injustices towards black people. He basically shows 20 years or more of police brutality and racial injustice in the US. A few of the comics he showed had a bow up doll Wilbur, he would put five black people on the road and it would be considered a gang but if they were holding the blowup Wilbur doll it was like they were with a coach or something.

He really hits you hard with his comics and makes you think. He talked about how white people get uncomfortable talking about race and within 6 seconds change the subject and he says how we need to end this and we need to face the awkwardness, and I agree. We are getting nowhere pretending like nothing is wrong if you got something to say or ask I think you should. We have to learn from our past and our mistakes to fix our future. I think he does an excellent job through his comics showing the tragicomedy he talks about something so serious but then he puts it in a funny way. It really makes me think how I could do that with my art. How to make something so terrible and make it funny and both make you laugh and think at the same time.

Book Fair Lecture #1 Tom Hart

      The first lecture I went to was the Child's eye view, the panel consisted of three authors, Meags Fitzgerald who wrote Long red hair, which basically is her life story about her being a lesbian. It was how she differed from her friends. What I found most interesting was that she didn't tell her whole family only her immediate family not her extended family that she was a lesbian. She used her book as a way to come out to the world. She also talked about how it was her fist comic actually using panels, I found his interesting because I don't think comics need to be framed in a panels to tell a story. She also only used two speech bubbles in her entire book, which to me showed that you don't need characters always talking to get the message of the story across.

       Another author on the panel was Emil Ferris. who wrote the book My favorite thing is monsters , what is like about this comic is that she is writing from a little girls point of view she also used a lot of horror movie things she saw in her graphic novel. The last author in the panel was Tom Hart who wrote Rosalie Lightening: A Graphic Memoir. He talked a lot about how he was inspired by Peanuts comics and always did very funny comics. But after his daughter died he decided to do a serious graphic memoir of her life. What I took from this was you can be a very uplifting person but if you have love or passion for something you will show it and describe it and write about it to tell the world how you feel.

Small works Garden

Homestead Gardens 

This is the video I showed in class. It explores a lot of different gardens in homestead, some videos taken on ground other videos taken from sky. I really wanted to capture all the land and space around me and show the beauty we all ignore it's all around us we just need to go out and look. In this video I saw myself as the dust flying through the wind looking at all the gardens. Eventually we all die and all that will be left is dust in the wind. But I do want to change the song to something without words. I want to create my own soundtrack to it. To make it more mine. I will post another one after I change it and I also need to edit a little more and slow stuff down instead of speeding it up. The reason I sped things up was because I didn't want the video being 15 minutes long. 

This is the extended non edited version I guess. This just has more of the videos. I took that I didn't end up putting in the video I showed in class. I didn't do much to it except put the videos together and add a song I wanted to show all the other gardens and fields I saw. Also the video features one of my handsome dogs and his a beautiful cow friend. 

Small Works #3 Poem

3.  Prose/Poetry – Write a work of fiction or non-fiction based on your experiences on the street and/or in a garden. Any literary form is acceptable, prose or poetry, with a 15 line minimum. 

Looking up at the great sky,

All I can imagine is being up that high.

Looking down at all that green,

Oh that would be quite the dream.

I wish I was the wind,

I would just go around and spin.

I love the smell of rain,

It takes away all of my pain.

Open fields of land,

Make me feel so grand.

The mornings are filled with dew,

Make sure you're wearing your shoes.

The animals walk in herds of seven,

Oh this surely is heaven.

As we say good night,

All I can wait for is the sunlight.
