Project Description
A brief description of the project.
This proposal aims to recommend strategies to create Kusama tutorials (comics) and promote them on social media. The unique format will help to attract more new potential users to the Polkadot ecosystem, help educate newcomers, enlarge the Polkadot audience, and keep all community members up to date with all news and all education materials in the Polkadot ecosystem.
An indication of why this project is good for the ecosystem.
A strong community is indispensable for a healthy digital system. Some even say it is an essential characteristic. However, the web is a prominent place. With so many different platforms and media, it can be hard to keep up with the latest news.
This proposal centers on publications one visual tutorial (Comics) every two-three weeks. Every comic translates or explains Polkadot’s technical documentation, developments, news.
An indication of why your team is interested in creating this project.
First of all, it is fascinating and brings a lot of fun. Creating something new is always great, and in parallel, we will explain something complicated in simple words.

Team's Experience: We have been interested in Polkadot since mid-2019 (Dotcon, Web3 summit). It all started when Gavin Wood introduced us to the project, its vision, and its values at the web3 conference in Berlin. From the first day we knew - we wanted to contribute to the project from our communications background; since that time, we plan to focus on creative solutions for increasing awareness. We ended up creating the Polkadot Comic, a visual guide to Polkadot. - https://twitter.com/PolkadotComics
