The+Rainessy(Comic)



Process Reflection This was definitely one of my favorite assignments of my freshman English year. For my summer english course with Mrs. Dare, alongside our written epic journey, we were to create a partner visual project of our choice. We got to decide on our own how we wanted to do this project, whether it was through live performance or a movie. I chose to do this project on Comic Life. I wanted to portray my epic journey with pictures to somehow achieve the complete comic feel. To do this, I actually used the Adobe Photoshop application my dad has on his business laptop to modify pictures and give it the spotty look. I also used the photoshop application to crop/copy myself into pictures since I played more than one character in my comic. I think the visual aspect of it came out better than I expected, but I wasn't quite satisfied with the writing part of it. My comic story was a little bit different than my epic journey story. None the less, I still think this was overall my most creative project of this year.

This project portrays aspects of organization, search for identity, change/growth, and creativity. In the beginning, the lead character is kind've bratty and ends up being punished for that. But since she was forced into a situation where she was forced to grow up, she was able to find who out who she was and she gained a level of maturity. The creating and organizing of the pictures was the most enjoyable part of this project.
