Congrats on making it through the first half of Digital Foundations! Over the fall break, you will need to do two things for our next project:
Project #6: Making Comics: The Freshman Experience/ My Life as an Art Student
Objective: Create a comic about your time at MCA so far!
- Minimum number of pages: 1
- Maximum number of pages: 2
All of the projects we have done so far have touched on the many different disciplines at MCA. The next one we cover will be Illustration.
The comics medium is used to tell stories, where each panel indicates a passage of time. When words and speech bubbles come together, it creates a moving story where we perceive a cohesive story is taking place in front of our very eyes.
For this project, you will be asked to create a sequential narrative (comic) about your experience at MCA so far! Use the internet as a reference for the variety of comic styles and layouts out there, and create one that best describes your personal experience.
This project will be our first project to incorporate adobe illustrator. Because of that, you are asked to complete the general layout of your comic and any images you need for it in photoshop, then use illustrator for laying out your text.
-----------------------
Ways of creating your comic:
- Draw then scan into photoshop.
- Draw directly into photoshop.
- (The more experimental take:) Draw your work in illustrator. We have not covered the majority of tools yet, but you are free to experiment if you choose!
- HAVE A .PDF, .JPG, or .PNG OF THE COMPLETED COMIC TO TURN IN BY 9:00 MONDAY MORNING!
Have a great weekend!
