*ROLLS A SMOKE*

This final project is an archetype of the ‘undeadTEDDIES’ comic website. Consisting of a basic three page layout expressing design, navigation and a taste of the comic the ‘undeadTEDDIES’.


DESIGN:


I have chosen to go with a greyscale background, bold red for main text items and RBG colour for the images.

The reason behind this choice in colour was to mainly appeal to the gothic audience.
Out of the ‘undeadTEDDIES’ logo I have altered the skull and set it as a tiled wall paper for the initial backdrop. Constant greys to make a title bar match the ‘undergroundRIOT’ contact card. Bright whites for outlining and small texts where used to stand out against the dull background and divert attention of the consumers’ eye. Images needed to be colour, without the items on the page integrated.


NAVIGATION:

Simple, conventional, navigational design used for buttons. Forwards and backwards (arrows) toggle buttons in title bar, located next to about artist (contact card) and comic access buttons (undeadTEDDIES logo). The choice of home button was not a traditional selection. With the style of the site it needed to be alternate and a little joke using the ambulance to go ‘home’.


COMIC:

I have submitted this piece on ‘DeviantART’ and this is a comment received “ooohhhh....sad and morbid...clever though”

This is exactly the reaction I am looking for.

Two directions with this comic will be tested further on to find out which has best audience reaction. This is one of the directions possess the characters involved in a basic joke (three to four panels layout) with no reference towards the history. The second is an animatic including the anecdote behind the ‘undeadTEDDIES’.


*ROLLS ANOTHER SMOKE*

Overall, I am quite happy with the outcome of this site. The style of the comic itself turned out well for the first official “Wacom Graphit 3” illustration.
Also, am just as impressed the consistency between the basic idea of the design for the site and the materialization of the Immaculate Conception.
However, there are always modes of improvement and I plan on following this up and further develop my ongoing baby the ‘undeadTEDDIES’.
