How to Wrap a Present
My partner, Rose, explained her skilled abilities at wrapping gifts. It was easy enough to break down into 5 steps, but I found it most challenging to sketch clear diagrams of the wrapping itself. I knew solid lines and arrows would be best for the directions to comes across clearly, but I also had to involve color and texture.
My rough draft excludes close ups and the better angles found on my final draft, but it helped me break down the progression of folding.
I like that your plan shows the more in depth process described by Rose and then your final comic is a cute image based process. Your drawings in both the final and draft are well organized and arranged. Awesome work!

Very cute! Well drawn and executed! I like the little bow as well on the final step. I would only suggest more space. between the steps, or at least in the between the longitudal space.

Greta: I love how much you were able to accomplish without words. It is very simple and clear and concise! The little ribbon added has to be my favorite parts. It gives it such great dimension!
The wrapping paper really brings a fun energy to this comic and I like that you added 3D elements to really capture the viewers attention. It is interesting to see a comic with no writing at all but I think that aspect works for explaining how to wrap a gift. You paid close attention to detail and I crafted the illustrations so well! -Abby Herman
I love the style you used to make this! The illustrations are clear and beautiful! The 3D element is fantastic!

I love the style of your images and big the images are. It is really impressive that they are easy to understand without any words. I think it would be nice if the background paper was a little bigger to add more space for each picture. – Shay
Hey Alexis! I love the way you decided to depict your images here. The minimal use of words was super effective, especially because of how clear your images are. Beautiful job!

I really like the outcome of your comic and I think the pictures of each step are really clear. It must have been tough to create a comic without words but you did a really nice job with it. There is a perfect combination of fun details while still keeping the final outcome clear and easy to read, I really enjoy it. -Hailey
I think the arrows really helped to guide what is happening. I feel like I could follow along. The ribbon at the bottom is super cute too!- ASH
Hi Alexis,
I really enjoyed how you chose to take a 3D approach to your comic. I love the little arrows you drew within each frame to show the direction of how to fold the paper it’s easy to follow along. My favorite part is the ribbon you added on the final present, it really brings the whole thing to life. The only thing I would even suggest is to add a title. Great work.

Jess Lauro – Great diagram! Your pictures are clear and the added tactile element of the ribbon creates a very engaging comic! Great job!
