Process Update
At this point, we have nearly finished all of our visuals for the comic and are starting to focus on the Javascript aspect. We went about the images portion by first drawing them out on paper and then drew over them on Adobe Illustrator to give it a more clean and presentable appearance. As we add the coding portion we intend to incorporate interactive elements such as gifs, pop-up images, and other types of media to add to the essence of our message.
We ended up departing from our initial idea of the “circle-of-life” story, where we would show images of two siblings ranging from birth until death. That idea proved to be too ambitious and unauthentic, considering we have no experience to draw from after the age of 18. Instead, we went with the storyline of two siblings growing up together and we will end the comic at their graduations. We plan on the first and last frames being photo albums and the duration of the comic will be the photos we have drawn of the various stages of the two siblings growing up together.
