Working Title:
Plastic Poncho Wednesday
Product’s Purpose:
The product’s purpose is to entertain and I will achieve this by making my product interesting and
appealing.
Genre:
Horror/Comedy graphic novel.
Content
My product is a comedic horror graphic novel that follows a story of a group of teenagers that start
a cult in which they worship eldritch-like deities. The story is a parody on infamous cults such as
Heaven’s Gate, Scientology, ect.
Audience:
My product is for an audience of older teens to young adult. There is no specific target towards a
male or female though a lot of the themes in my product would appeal more to men. My product
also isn’t targeted towards a specific class, so the audience should vary from lower class to upper
class.
The primary audience for my product is males aged 16-21. My secondary audience Is females and
people over 20. My product primarily appeals to the Socially Conscious Type-A psychographic, as
my product is a social commentary about religious cults. My product also appeals to Socially
Conscious Type-B as a secondary audience as dark horror stories will appeal to those who have
‘given up on humanity’.
Legal & Ethical Considerations:
Think about any offensive material you will include?
There will be some violent and horrific material, which will require a higher age rating, but there will
be no sexually explicit or otherwise offensive content.
Will you restrict younger people using/accessing it?
I will restrict younger audiences from accessing my product as there are themes that are not
suitable for younger people.
Will it offend any social groups/religions/ethnicities?
My product will not offend any specific social groups, ethnicities or religions. My product may poke
fun at religions and cults in a parodic way but I will make sure it isn’t offensive. My product does
not intend to harm any person or group of people.
How will you ensure you do not offend anyone?
I will make sure the comedy doesn’t go too far by researching groups that could potentially be
offended and making sure I don’t include any material that could be offensive. I will also make sure
I am in compliance with the ASA codes and make sure my product does not intend to offend any
particular people.
Are you using characters/names/logos of existing products/IPs?
No, my product will not use any imagery or names from existing products/IPs.
Will you product be sufficiently different from existing products to not get sued for
copyright infringement?
My product will not be similar to any existing products, so I will not get sued for copyright
infringement.
