Week 10 _ Page Layout (The "Hierarchical" Grid)

Assignment:  One Pager _ (Hierarchical grid layout)

Materials: 11 x 14” Bristol board, ruler, eraser, blue pencil, flair pen/brushpen/micron


1.Convert a Diary Entry* one-page comic. Any layout and any number of panels, so long as there is some variation in panel size. (*Choose from any entry that you’ve done EXCEPT the one that you are doing for the democratic one-pager.) 
2.As with our previous comic, lay out your “live area” by penciling a line 1” from the edge all the way around the page creating a 9 x 12” live area. Use ¼” gutters.
3.This is a black and white comic.
4.You may use dialog (speech and thought bubbles) and silent panels.

5.Give your comic a title. This may follow some of the simple forms we discussed Monday or it may be integrated into the page design as with the examples that we reviewed earlier. 

Your goal is to condense your story such that the entire “episode” fits into this single page.


DUE Monday Nov. 3:       - completed Democratic Grid One-pager &

                                          - completed Hierarchical Grid One-pager


We will critique both 1-page comics together on Monday.
