Hello all! Welcome! Or welcome back.

Today I’ll be discussing our last PLP project of the year along with our Spring Exhibition!

To begin with the project, it focused on World War 1. With our end goal being to make a sufficient comic relating to a WW1 related topic to showcase at the Spring Exhibition. The comic had to be a minimum of 20 panels long, and it had to follow some other guidelines.

As I said in my TPoL, this was my best project in PLP as of June 17th 2024. Since I had genuine fun doing it, and I was productive throughout it and participated in the project meaningfully and healthily (never stayed up too late, etc). Making the comic was a bit stressful, since we had quite a deadline. Though in the end I made it and everything!

This was also a super informative project, as I didn’t know much about WW1: Especially Canadas contributions!

For my comic, it focused on Shell Shock (PTSD). Where throughout the comic a fictional character named Brandon Matthew’s, he fought in the 2nd  battle of Ypres. Though, as the result of being the only one to return from a German Ambush, he was traumatized, and shortly diagnosed with Shell Shock.

Now for the Spring Exhibition itself, it wasn’t too stressful actually! Since for once, our end products were mostly digital (our comics). Although, day of it was a bit stressful since we started building the trench and everything 8 hours before the exhibition.

Then for the actual layout, we had some of the cafeteria, and we all had tables for each category, like for example all the battles were split up into different tables. Though there were some of us who didn’t have a very specific spot depending on their story. Since my Comic was based on Shell Shock, I was at the medical tables (which you can see behind Kaiono).

How it worked was guests could come up to any table and have us tell them about our stories! Some of them even actually read our comics! :D

Generally for the project it was fun, scroll up for my entire debrief on it. For the exhibition, it was also fun! Pretty stress free which was good, and now I’m happy that we’re almost done the year with 3 days left! Thanks for reading.
