THOMAS HOWES
FINAL MAJOR PROJECT BRIEF 2011
COMIC BOOK
THE BRIEF Create a comic based on an alternative to the traditional super hero story line.
IDEA The comic must be targeted at your existing demographic (men and women aged 15-35). It must appeal to both yourself and your audience and contain cultural references and an element of humour. It will challenge the traditional idea of 'super hero' and be engaging and fun to read.
BACKGROUND Many self representing artists are producing their own comic books these days, often printing independently and selling them through small independent comic book shops.
CONSIDERATIONS Comic must be easy to re produce, black and white with full colour cover. There will be an element of humour and satire which will appeal to my existing audience. How will my comic stand out on the shelf? How will it differ from the hundreds of self made comics circulating around the UK's independent comic book shops? How will I distribute my comic? Stock/format/online edition?
