Week Ten




Assignment: We had to color our comic strip using only 2 colors. All slides and pictures needed to be done. We also had another critique.

Craft: Using photoshop I changed the background layer into Layer 0 and created at least one other layer to color the photo.


Composition: I got some good tips during my critique. I plan on adding one more slide with my dog. I want the dog to dispose of the image of the president.


Concept: Really the same as last week. To color the photos I chose red and yellow. The red because it symbolizes death and being a story about an assassin I figured it would be appropriate. I used yellow because it was the original color of the envelope and the yellow on the red really "popped" nicely.

  1. craft- jeff took a picture of someone sitting at a table for his comic strip
    then he used darker colors to color it in but the envelope is bright yellow and stands out nicely.
    composition- the picture was arranged nicely, the man's back is turned so you really can't see what he is doing. which keeps the audience in suspense.
    concept- a man is getting ready to deliver a package but he is first finishing writing out a not for the package
    it was done very well

  2. Craft- The dark red coloring of this picture sets a foreboding tone. The gun floating over the man's head is even more sinister, which is why the dark coloring works really well. The bright yellow envelope sticks out and makes it known to viewers that it is extremely important to the message. I definitely dig the red coloring the most though--there is something haunting about it. It kind of reminds me of the color blood red.

    Composition- The fact that a gun is suspended in air is very interesting to me. At first I couldn't tell if the gun was supposed to be hanging on the wall or if it was just floating in the air. I think it is supposed to be hanging on the wall, but both posibilities are very eery. The man's back is facing us, so we can't see his facial expression. This whole picture is pretty creepy; maybe that's why I love it so much.

    Concept- This is one of his pictures for the comic book project. The man who is opening the envelope is a hitman whose target is JFK. Obviously a grim topic, the dark nature of the photo works excellently!

  3. Craft- the dark colors and red coloring make your photo really serious and well "DARK." This fits the theme of your comic that I seen before. In addition, the yellow folder pops out and makes my eye curious as to what is inside. The gun also tells something about the man in the chair.

    Composition- the gun and envelope are popping out. They are a large part of the photo and with the red coloring they tell a lot about the story. You can't see the man's face, which make him more mysterious. Plus, since he is a assassin; I like the fact you don't see his face because no one (including the reader) would not know who he is. WHO IS THE KILLER????

    Concept- this is your unique style. It is simple and dark which sets the mood for the rest of your comic. The coloring makes things pop and show importance.
