Activity: One Pager _ (Democratic grid layout)
Materials: Bristol board 11 x 14”, ruler, eraser, blue pencil, flair/micron/fudenoseke pens
You will create a one-page comic in the democratic grid format (all panels the same size). Use an X-page story OR one of your Whole Life Diary entries as the point of departure for the story. Note that the goal is to tell a complete episode in this single page. Take this into consideration in choosing your story.
1.Lay out your “live area” by drawing a line 1” all the way around the page. Then draw a simple grid of 9, 12, or 16 panels of equal size. Remember that the panels go all the way up to the edge of the “live area.” Make your gutters ¼” in width. (This will involve a little math.)
2.This is a black and white comic.
3.You may use dialog (speech and thought bubbles).
4.Use the first panel for your hand drawn title.
Start this in class today and continue for Homework. Approach this like our in-class exercises in terms of time and investment. (3-5 minutes per panel = 45 – 90 minutes total.)
Timeline: Monday, 10/27 = completely penciled, partially inked
