We have one last extra
We have one last extra credit opportunity in my graphic design class. I'm not sure if I have the time to do it, but heck, you guys know that I'm going to at least give it a shot. Here's the prompt; I need some ideas for a story!
Overview: Create an original Comic Book (or Graphic Novel) page in Adobe Illustrator. Create the story, the text, the ambience, and the characters yourself.
Details: The page can be any other page except the front or back cover. Include enough comic book elements to make a professional publish-quality page. Include several panels separated by gutters. Include elements like narration boxes, thought bubbles, and dialog bubbles. Play with the standard elements of comic design. The standard comic book dimension is 10"h x 7"w.
The answer should be obvious....
The Air Babes Return!
I wanna see Becca in comic book form, with her ability to send her hair everywhere!
I love this assignment!! I want to do it! But I suck so bad at Illustrator...
Quick! Go read the Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay! It has lots of comic book ideas. Or just thumb through it for inspiration. Basically, you need an outcast who uses his apparent weakness to his advantage. Once you know his backstory, the super hero stuff fills in.
The HRBers in comic book form? Well, we do have enough "characters"? And one with his own self-appointed nickname, the "Man of Action"!
There's Joe, the anti-Christ of running because he hates it!
We have a TV lady. :)
Jessica's picture, as Lance "fingers pointing" out Saturday, looks like she could be a female action hero.
And it could go on and on ...
