Week 3 – Interactive Comic Proposal Julia & Jannie

For our interactive comic project, we will follow the journey of a dog through the Shanghai Metro as he makes his way back home to his family. On the way he encounters some interesting objects and easily loses his way, so the reader will have different paths to choose from in order to get him home, like a choose your own adventure comic. However, our main character will always find his way home; different paths might just take longer.

There will be little widgets to play around with in the comic that the user can click, but overall will have no bearing on the storyline—they will simply be aesthetic choices to make it more interactive and fun.

The comic will be hand-drawn in a very minimalistic, cute style, and the comic itself will be very lighthearted and humorous. The drawings will be made using Photoshop. The style will be similar to that of artist Alison Zai.
