Our Graphic Design Contest this week is about creating your very own comic strip. Take any approach you like, whether you envision yourself as an artist working for Marvel or DC, or as just a contributor to the Funny section of your weekly paper. Use images and narration to tell a story.
It can be about superheroes saving the planet or a satirical commentary on everyday life, whatever inspires you most. Use any combination of drawing, clipart, text, and photos. You can use a single panel, or create a comic strip by combining a sequence of images using the collage tool. You can even alternate from panel to panel between drawings and photographs. Then add captions and callouts to insert narration, commentary, or dialogue.
Try your hand at comic book art, and make an original. It’s time to publish your very first edition.
