This document discusses plans and resources for creating a comic book titled "Dysfunction". It includes notes on font styles, character and element colors, sample comic panel layouts, necessary resources like a computer and art supplies, health and safety considerations, and an 8-day schedule to complete drawing, scanning, coloring and evaluating the comic pages.

2. 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.

3. Style sheet
These 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.

4. Layout 1 DYSFUNCTION
The 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.

5. 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.
