week five Non narrtive comic strip


For this exercise, I was give three scenarios to chose to illustrate. These scenes were non-narrative which are scenes that having nothing to do with the story but they serve the story by making a break in between the action of the story. This is also used in films and TV besides graphic creations. I think this technique is used to show that the characters are more human and making them more relatable.

The scenarios that we were given were:
Appling lipstick
Lighting a match
Drink water

With this assignment we had to make the scenes exciting but stick to non narrative. With my creation I original did the match one but I designed this quickly and had a lot of empty space to where I could fill it up with more non narrative content. I do enjoy the design because simple and sharp. But the things that I would change next time would be use more colours. I need to stop using greys and to add more colour because the lips and lipstick work perfect. But with the overall drawings I really thrilled with because I think that I have got the angle and zoom right because your seeing what happening step by step but again the greys let it down. When we showed the group my illustration overall they said that it did not make sense and what was the final panel below the lit match. So next time I should add some colour to make it look like a wick from a stick of dynamite or add a bit of red to hint that it dynamite. But with the overall product I think it was a good thing to go for just the lips being coloured because you focus on them and I think overall it would look too busy. Next time as well do not fold the work.
