For our spring exhibition and finale, PLP 9 made our own comic con (sort of). My opinion on this project was that it felt rushed but also procrastinating is your worst enemy. The start of this project consisted of parting. Specifically that everyone got a feel about Ww1, than we parted into groups and than individually we picked a topic we wanted to create a story about.

I picked to draw about Canadian nurses in the second battle for Ypres. But I couldn’t just instantly do it, we had to research first. I used my source: https://www.veterans.gc.ca/en/remembrance/those-who-served/women-veterans/nursing-sisters

I gathered research and than implanted it into a story board. Every great animated film or comic has used a storyboard before. A story board doesn’t doesnt have to be great and it gives insight of what is actually going to be accomplished in your final copy. 

These are some slides from my story board

My finale copy doesn’t follow these exact slides but it gave me inspiration on how I wanted to present the story and what would entail. It was tedious and long but when making the finale copy it really helped me.

Now for my finale comic copy, (this probably took my like 20 hours):

In the end I liked this project because I got to express a story in my style and it helped my creativity as well as it allowed you to learn a lot about your chosen topic. If I were to do it again I would, only if I had more time though as it stressed me out a lot. I’m happy with my ending copy and I’m glad it’s over as this is the last project I will do. I’m leaving PLP and this was a good note to end off of. 

Bye bye
