--- tags: mission, prototype --- # prototype-comic-book-spread ## the goal: Produce a two page spread as an example of something we can either imagine many students doing as an assignment/activity or something we can imagine integrating into our media and story-production workflow. As you work, document your process and produce a tutorial or guide for future students on creating spreads using the wide variety of tools you can use for this purpose. For more background on this project, read our [Comic Book Spreads Project Doc](/D27SUVILRPiuLeeAv0OD7Q) *Estimated time to complete: 1.5-5 hours.
