Project 1: The Comic Project

In this project, working in groups of three, we are tasked in creating an 8-page comic based on a given nursery rhyme.

My team decided to choose the nursery rhyme The Crooked Man. Our initial idea was to express a dark tone which could deliberately show the crookedness of our character. However, upon reviewing our current draft we realised that our comic wasn’t as effective as we thought as we felt it was too literal, which made the overall draft a bit complicated. We altered the draft and made it simpler, which made it more effective and thus lead tot the final creation. I learned that being too literal can make a piece too complicated and not as effective so simplifying it can help strengthen the overall piece.
