week 10


Assignment- The assignment for this week was to continue working on our comic strip. All we have left to do is to play with the colors on photoshop to make the pictures look better.

Craft- We took our pictures and put our story together then our classmates had the chance to look at our story. After reading some of their comments, we decided to change some minor things to make our comic look even better.

Composition- For this, as mentioned above, we took our picture and had our classmates look at them. After realizing that some of our pictures needed work, we went back and played with them on photoshop so that the comic looks better.

Concept- This was the first time that we were allowed to have partners for an assignment and it worked out well. This was a good idea because by having partners we were allowed to expand on many idead we had. Also, it made the project easier because we were able to split the work up and focus on the part we were given.

week 9


Assignment- the assignment for this week was to pick pictures that we though would look best in our comic layout.

Craft- for this we simply took the pictures that we thought would look best in our comic and put them together to see how they would look.

Composition- We had most of our pictures taken but we still needed to retake some of them. After retaking some of the pictures we played with them to make some parts stand out more.

Concept- In this comic strip we are trying to say that one should never jump to conclusions without knowing what is happening first. We are trying to get our idea across without the use of words.

week 7

Assignment- the assignment for this week was to come up with a story that included the following: 1 person is traveling, 1 person is waiting, and 1 of them has a package for the other one.

Craft (How I did it)- The first thing we had to do was to find a partner. After finding a partner,we had to brainstorm ideas about what our story would be about. We each had several ideas but we finally narrowed it down to one story. All we have to do now is to take the pictures for our comic and start putting them together.

Composition (Arrangement of elements)- The story we are doing is about a woman who is home alone one night and watching a movie. All of a sudden she hears something and she gets scared. She runs to put the light on but it doesn't work. The noise gets louder and someone is now knocking on the door. She is not expecting anyone which is why she is so afraid. She runs to the kitchen to grab a knife for protection. Someone has now entered her home and walking toward her. Right when she is about to stab the person, she realizes that he is only a pizza delivery guy and he had the wrong address.

Concept (what I am trying to say)- The concept of this story is that one should never jump to conclusions and assume the worse.
