    Dan, I have to admit I also didn’t realize that you could only to the Book Splash layout once, though that makes sense! If you want a title page for your project, you could try the “Blank Slate” feature, which […]

    Lisbel, I think your project will definitely benefit from annotating the images as well as creating text! I know inserting notes and media in individual pages can sometimes be confusing. We will go over the […]

    Sharwane, I think annotating the images will help greatly in demonstrating the differences between the different manga styles. Annotations and media in general are very much the benefit of using Scalar! The […]

    Allison, I’m looking forward to seeing your project develop. I agree that the specific terminology that Scalar uses that be confusing at first, since it’s so idiosyncratic. Hopefully more time with the platform […]

    Kehinde, I’m interested in seeing this project develop, but I need more information on the primary sources the project is remediating. Are you and Sharwane working on editing or commenting on at least one example […]

    Lisbel, it’s interesting to see what in an impact audience can have on how ideas are presented! I think you were one of the only people who found the terminology helpful. I think parts of it are definitely more […]

    Elvis,
    It’s really useful for us to reflect on the craftsmanship of book- and Zine making as way to get us closer to the ideas/arguments they are sharing. I think the sense of intimacy is absolutely a huge part […]

    Sharwane,
    Thanks for sharing your past experience with bookmaking! That seems really interesting and I agree with Daniel that it would be interesting to see it. I wonder what happened to it after the youth club […]

    Kehinde,
    I like the reflection of audience here and what makes Zines special — they are often rare in the sense that you can usually only find them in a few places, but not so rare as to have only one copy, for […]

    Diamond,
    I too felt nervous the first time I bound my pages, though the process becomes easier after the first try!
    I like your point that Zines combine aspects of multiple media such as pamphlets and artist […]

    Lisbel,
    Really great reflections here. I think that paying close attention to the “craft and artistry” as you put it, is crucial in revealing the humans behind the process of book making: we want to always think […]

    Dan,
    I like your point that working with one’s hands can create a sense of calm — perhaps the focus of the activity moves us away from multitasking in a way that is satifying?

    The question of intimacy keeps […]
