2nd and 3rd Comic
This comic I like a lot more than the first one I did. The concept comes from chapter 10 when Jolu tells Marcus that he is out. I attack Marcus' ignorance by asking him what he means - too many times - and I tried to make this one have a more humorous appeal. I took a lot more time on this one in terms of different croppings and sizes of the boxes. I also tried to capture closer up sections of Jolu's and Marcus' faces. Even though the last comic was low stakes I believe I deserved a B because my ideas were conveyed, but I feel like I could have maybe ellaborated more and exaggerated more in certain areas of the comic. This comic I believe is A quality according to the rubrics we created in class because I made it much more creative and original, there is an obvious connection to a particular scene in the book, and it took me a lot of time to configure my ideas visually and in the thought process. I am also a lot happier with this one, and felt more comfortable creating it. :)
The second comic is on Operation False Positive when it's in motion. I decided to spoof it with the idea of Mario Kart. I found this to be fun because they concept fit well. In Mario Kart, you are constantly going to random tracks in different environments. I used this as reasons for the DHS/police to pull over Mario when he's in the middle of a race tournament. I am happy with the way it came out. However, this program is a lot harder to use and it's tricky. I think it's good in that you can distort the elements of the pictures and text. Still, it's hard to find a concrete idea and be consistent through out the comic.
