Graphic Novel

The graphic novel project was a very fun and interesting project. I enjoyed creating a story and finding a way to make the plot come to life in picture form. Thinking of what my story was going to be about was the toughest part of the assignment.  Once I had a general idea of what I was going to write the graphic novel became quite enjoyable and easy.  I am not an artist at all so I had to rely on pictures and photographs on the internet to complete my graphic novel.  Once I found pictures related to my story line, I copied and pasted them onto Comic Life.  From there I altered the backgrounds and color scheme to make some of the comic to look more cartoonish.  I had to follow the rules of a proper story line.  I had to figure out what the main character in my piece wanted to accomplish what setbacks would occur for him to resolve his goal and finally how he accomplishes his goal.  Finding pictures online was a very easy task even when my story line was outlandish.  There is almost anything and everything online and I found the correct series of pictures to finish my story line and make it enjoyable to the audience.  Graphic novels are a different means of communication.  They are an entertaining way to allow the audience to see action and hear sound even though it is through two dimensional figures.  Graphic novels are used to entertain while reading the story line.  It gives ideas to the readers of what figures look like while leaving gaps in some places so that people can fill in the blanks when needed.  Graphic novels are fun ways to create a story and the project was fun for me.
