The Brief
The brief is a mix of the Paul Davis brief; creating a book about something that I am interested in, as well as the ‘Green Heart’ brief from IIDA; a brief which is about green design through communication.
The Concept
A visual investigation of current affairs with a focus on satirical character design, the aim is to combine serious news stories / subjects with cute characters to change the tone unexpectedly. Mixing them together, I created a politically driven comic, which revolves around a set of endangered species which become the newscasters. The target is upper KS2 and was designed to feature as an e-comic, featuring on part of the BBC Newsround website.
The Imagery
Comics were created at a volume of one a day, so the style is kept simple and easily replicateable. A consistent spot colour is used throughout as well as a series of gradient grains. The number of characters reflects a typical set of presenters on a news show; two anchors with a few specialist reporters.
