Initial ideas - creating my own comic strips/ experimenting with styles


Initial comic strips

To begin to experiment with my own style and combining it with the familiarity of Garfield Minus Garfield, I decided to sketch out some comic strips that I found on the blog itself. I wanted to draw by hand to provide an authentic and unique element, which arguably provides an exclusivity to the publication, as discussed in my essay. 






I like how I focused on using black and white for these outcomes, as it definitely provides a contemporary atmosphere which I intended to have as a key feature as it links to the audience considerations of the publication. I also like the graphic nature of the halftone effect added to the design, as it adds a nice refreshment of the original Garfield comics. The only thing I wouldn't continue to do would be the crumpled paper effect, as I don't think it fits with the tone of the design.
