Overview

The term "Net art" is used more widely by artists than "internet art," which is more commonly used by institutions, or "net.art," which usually evokes a specific mid-90s movement. The informality of the term "net art" is also appropriate not only to the critical use of the web as an artistic medium, but also informal practices such as selfies and Twitter poems.

Zine is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via a copy machine. Zines are the product of either a single person or of a very small group, and are popularly photocopied into physical prints for circulation.

For this project we are diving into what the possibilities are when you combine net art and zine making. You will use a combination of HTML, CSS, and (maybe Javascript).

Requirements

• There is a 8 page minimum.
• You will make wireframes in Figma with text and color styles. You must wireframe for both desktop and mobile, but you will only code for desktop.
• Your site must use original assets (your own images, gifs, videos, and sounds).
• Your root folder set up, code, and live site should be completed considering best practices and the project deadline.
• Your site must be live and uploaded to the XARTS server and uploaded to github.
• You are coding this site without WYSIWYG builders, you are coding this from scratch in visual studio code. You can source example code as long as you give credit as a comment.

Guidelines

• Choose a theme from your final piece in Project 1: Digital Literacy and stick to it. You will be asked to write about this theme throughout the project.
• A zine has a way to flip through pages. You can emulate this by creating links to the next page. It could be a conventional layout like flipping through a book. But you could also come up with a non conventional way to navigate from page to page.
• Start simple and use your skills from digital literacy to create visual elements first. Then as you learn more interactions, you can enhance elements.
• Your figma layout may variate from original plan but do not start over in the middle of your project. If you are having trouble, seek help from me first.
