Final project

Assignment: A comic book targeted at teenagers

Criteria: Print medium, 2-4 pages, copy less than 200 words, strip size approximately A3

 

This time round, our group decided to mimic American comic magazines. Hence, from comic dimensions, layout, paper, cover page, advertisements, we had intended for it to be as close to the real deal as possible.

 

As for the storyline, I suppose we did achieve the “hype” part of the project. The entire LT was in somewhat of an uproar.

Well, our storyline is basically a fresh take on fairytales / fables/ children nursery rhymes.

The existence of a darker side to the Grimm brothers’ tales is probably known to all, but usually, the darker side came from the characters already present in the story -  and that actually forms part of the moral of the story I suppose.

 

As for our “crook,”  instead of the characters themselves being darker, we made them remain innocent still.

Instead, we introduced a new character, a blood thirsty tree that blooms red flowers whenever it kills.

Our “lyric” in this case, is how each of these characters really met with their deaths. I won’t be revealing the entire story here, but we have

1. A  Jack and Jill + Rock-a-bye baby remix

2. The cow which jumped over the moon

3. Rapunzel

 

Here are they are.

 

And here are some pages of our comic magazine. These 4 are the front (inside, outside) and back (inside, outside) covers  of our comic.
