Exhibit 10

Challenge: Use the skills from the last 11 weeks to create your design of choice

Background

I got inspiration for this assignment after reading some comic books my friend had lended to me in my free time. Comic book covers have always had a very iconic look in my opinion so I thought it would be cool to try to recreate that in the form of a poster advertising a comic book club. The most difficult part was definitely finding images to work with that weren't copyright protected, however FreePik was definitely a useful source in that regard.

Design

  • I referenced many comic book covers to come up with both the layout and color scheme of this design. Most comic book covers feature bold, primary colors so I made sure to include that. I tried to feature bold lines and halftone textures throughout the design to mimic the shading style of traditional Western comic books. I also downloaded two fonts that were similar to the class comic book lettering style
