ADAPTATION PART A – DESIGN

APPROACH. J U L I A M A S O N

DESIGN ASPECTSWhen looking at how I can present my infographic, I needed to look at my topic and take design

elements from that. As my subject is comic con, anything comic related is my starting point.

There are a lot of things that can be associated with Comic Con, and not just with Comics, there

are cartoons; films and TV shows that have nothing to do with the comic scene, there is anime

and manga as well. All these things have sprouted a fan base so large you really can’t miss it.

A lot of the designs can be broken down into a few key points:

- Bold lines.

- Bright colours.

- Ben-Day Dots.

- Speech Bubbles.

- Bold text.

- Panels of different shapes and sizes.

Roy Lichtenstein's work with pop art is another aspect of these designs that I have been looking at.

DESIGN BREAKDOWN

ROY LICHTENSTEIN

Pop art is a art

form made famous

by the works of

Roy Lichtenstein

and Andy Worhal. I

like this style and

want to take

elements of this

into my infographic.

COMIC STRIPS – MAVEL & DC

Comic books have been around

for years, the older the format

the yellower they are it seems.

But in terms of style they all have

different ways of portraying their

art. The panels are all different

sizes and shapes which help

translates the story clearly – if

you can read it properly.

I think I might try making a few

seconds of timeline using a comic

strip template as an design

preface for my infographic.

MANGA

Manga is a Japanese art form similar to

graphic and comic books that depict

Japanese style art that is read in reverse as

Japan read from right to left. These are a

little more dynamic in the way they are

laid out, with bold lines and text bubbles

that fit in nicely with the images.

This is another style I wish to give a go,

not nessacerily the art style of the images,

just the way they are layout in the grid.
