Evaluation of final comic

Above are screen shots of my work.Most are segments of the comic it's self and not pages 

Final comic strip finished:

Above is the front cover.

Evaluation;

My comic was made using Photoshop,illustrator,and mostly my own drawings.The pictures  i took were taken in Bradford lake and around the college.I vastly prefer the pictures taken at bradford as they are better quality.Though the price for all my pictures being in high quality as that this made the computer lag and sometimes it would freeze up completely.I would then uses the images i took in the background and mess around with the brightness,levels,and Hugh and saturation,until i was happy with the picture.I tried to give each picture a dark comic style.This was decided after i did research into different comic styles.

All my characters in the comic really go well with the background.I have enjoyed drawing them out but would have loved to do all the comic by hand.As i had a lot of problems(specially with photoshop).On my past blogs i have explained the characters and their profiles(please see others).I researched layout that would be suitable for my comic and came up with a slightly circular and my comic panels fit in perfectly.

I had before thought of using a sketchy effect for the panels but wanted the back ground to be black(and for obvious reasons this would have not worked).

I was going to have the speech bubbles in grey but had to think of colour blind or those who struggle to see colours.Also by making the bubbles white it attracts people to the comic and the taking parts straight away.

The actual font its self is Papyrus in 0.5pt.I believe that Papyrus suits my comic style as it gives it a slight edge.The font was in a colour black for the simplicty.

The overall project went well though I do feel that it was quite a rush to get it finisged.I am happy that I stayed behind to help get to the end though as I am impressed to see my comic.come to life.If I had chance to do anything differently it would be to have learnt some of the Photoshop tricks before hand (this would have helped in saving more time).Also I would have made ,at least,  a few more pages for my comic.

Today we were invited to look around the (wip)Workshop bus shelter. We were shown around all the parts.As we went up to the top we noticed the solar panels and the view wl

Evaluation of Sewhat

The head that I made:
Head includes lights(LED) for eyes that can be turned on.Head has been painted a green and brown colour.The mouth was built out of the face and had been painted as well.There's a toungue hanging out of the mouth. The toungue is made out of velvet and has been stuffed.Overall I really liked my design and found the head was fun to make.
I did not actually wear a head or go one the cat walk.

Examples of Anthropomorphism (used in comic work) and Fantsia

Anthropomorphism:Giving human characteristics to inanimate objects.Most that I found were parts of buildings and architecture but these gave me ideas all the same.I loved the way that looking at something with a completely diffrent mind set can reveal so much.

A hat in the disney style.Disney its self is highly known for giving human characteristics to inanimate objects.One of there most poplar films 'Fantasia' includes a magic hat which leads Micky around the castle .Everything in the castle is animated.

Here we see the brooms marching away in a human like fashion. 

I studied this film closer and decided to focus more on the brooms,which in the film,are brought to life by magic.They the go around the castle cleaning up(and also carry buckets around with them.

Mickys hat,for a short while,becomes enchanted as well.

Boarder idea.

This comic presentation was shown to my class mates and was ment provide a idea of the work I was doing. In this I found out what I would need to do to appeal to my audience when I was doing my comic book.

pictures for comic WIP

These photos were all taken at Bradfield Resivour near Sheffield.As there is a lot of nature and trees I thought it would be perfect for my comic.I will be hopefully transferring these images from blogger over to a computer at colledge. 

wind in the willows final head

This is the result of my final toad head.As you can see I have painted it (with dark brown and green) that colours of a toad.I am really glad I used tape to stick my head together as it has given a really nice wrinkle around the eye effect making it look quite like a really toad.I noticed how angry my toad looks because of the way the eyes were stuck on.This was intentional but still seems to work.

This is the toads eyes once they had been lit up.I think this will be a good effect on the cat walk and gives my head a diffrent look to all the others.

The textile younger that was added last.Through doing it I was shown how to use a knitting machine by a lovely person (this will come in handy in future).The materiel it's self is made out of red velvet and has been stitched around the edges (also stuffed).I'm glad I added this as it looks quite cute personally.

A full body shot of me wearing the Toad head (I have a similar coat at hand to use for toad)

Overall I am very happy with this project and hope others will go this well.
