Style sheet

COPPERPLATE GOTHIC BOLD -This is what I use for my Dysfunction title font, and for comic speech bubble text.

-Another idea for the Dysfunction title. It looks really cartoony for my comic and a good style to have.

-Another alternative title idea for Dysfunction. It would be slightly cartoony like what I am making.

-A possible experimental title font. It would be for a ‘mature’ sort of series.

This green will be for the title. Green is usually an adventure sort of colour.

I chose red for one of my character’s sunglasses because red is the colour of rage.

When I make my Dysfunction comics at home, I make a banner with the title and issue number on it. I have it mustard yellow with green writing on it.

Grey is chosen as the colour of one of my characters hair. Grey is for reserve, sorrow, dignity and serious.I chose brown as the colour of one of my characters brown paper bag mask. Brown is the colour of confidence and endurance.

Pink is the colour of one of my characters clothes. Pink is usually the colour of love and energy.

Style sheetThese are the Dysfunction comics, drawn personally from PAINT by me. Chose these as an image style to show you guys what I would be drawing. These images involve group shots, so the cover of my comic could involve something like that, or show a single character or two as the main part of the cover.

Layout 1 DYSFUNCTIONThe title.

This is a rough idea for a cover. It would become something different though, like say, a group shot of the characters all together in the cover. However, there would be people that reads a comic and likes a certain character. E.G. Wolverine is a popular character and he is chosen to be in the X-men cover on his own because of that status of popular character.

Layout 2

This is a rough idea of a comic page and the number of panels it includes. It normally depends on how long the joke or story is when I make these comics at home. Sometimes it can be a very long comic, sometimes it can be a short, three panel comic or two. Sometimes, it can be a single panel that shows the joke itself. In this case, a five or six panel comic page is what I might make for this FMP, starring the Dysfunction characters I made.
