Week 15a

Today in class I put the finishing touches on my Comic. The first thing I did was to complete the little bit of text that was missing from the page. I need to add the rubbing sound effect to a couple of panels. In my script I had a "fwoosh" sound effect in the last panel when the ropes catch fire, but I decided to cut that because I just couldn't work it into the panel I had drawn. Plus the fire didn't look like a fwoosh kind of fire.



Then I went through and proof read all of my text on the page. I didn't really find mistakes, but I found places where I could cut words out, or reword things to bring down my word count. I wanted to do this because a lot of my word balloons were looking pretty full and needed trimmed down.



I was struggling for awhile with what to do with the panels where I had characters interrupting each other. I tried to have the balloons overlap each other in a bunch of different ways, but none of that worked. After talking to Professor Pannifino I ended up not having the balloons overlap and it still looked like the characters were interrupting each other.



Finally I lowered the opacity on the comic pages by ten percent. This was another change I made after talking to Professor Pannifino. He felt that the colors might be overwhelming when printed out, and after seeing the colors dulled down a bit I agree that it should look better this way.
