Week 11




Assignment: Create a Comic

Craft: Using photshop and comic life programs, design a comic that portrays the story previously posted.

Composition: After a Monday critique, I found that my comic needs a new color scheme that is more appealing to the eye. I decided to do a contrast of bright green and hot pink. Along with black and white slides, as well as a black background. This makes my comic POP more. I edited the ending slide to make it look like Vince is crying after his pregnant girlfriend is hit by a car. There are a few other colors that add info to my comic. I changed the format to better to make sure the story reads left to right. I also fixed a typo on page three. My comic is coming along nicely.

Concept: Portray the story posted previously posted in a the form of a comic using photos that I photoshopped and "comic life" to create the story into a comic format

Craft: Use photoshop and comic life to portray my story.

Concept: (Same as posted in week 9)

Composition: After a critique, I need some crop work to focus in on images. Color scheme is good and it focuses your eye on particular things in my story. I also need to add slides to better complete my concept of the story. I need to add a title page. One slide needs to be darker to bring out my models hair. If all is done, then story well be complete as well as portray my concept.

Week 9

All week we critiqued our stories

Assignment: To have a draft of your story ready to be critiqued. 

Craft: Using photoshop, I made my make each slide look like a drawing. I adjusted the image into a chalk and charcoal scheme.

Composition: The feel of my story is dull with two twists. The package is that the woman is caring twins. The man is shocked and not excited about being a dad. The final twist is the women hits by a car. We can assume the man is no longer a dad and may have lost his girlfriend. My story accurately portrays these feelings. However, after critique I found that I need to place more words and hints to better show that the women is pregnant as well as returning from a trip. There is also some faces that need to be manipulated to better show the certain feelings I am trying to portray.

Concept: Portray a man and his girlfriend meeting after her travels. Show the woman is pregnant. Finally, show the women getting hit by a car

Special Edition: Lipstick & Dynamite


A showing of "Lipstick and Dynamite" was shown Tuesday at 1:15pm at Saint Xavier University.

The show was a documentary about Women Professional Wrestling focusing mostly on early Women Wrestlers. It was interesting seeing how women were portrayed back in the mid-twentieth century. Even in the ring, the women had to portray the lady-like image. Women Wrestlers were wearing dresses, had their hair fixed, and more while they wrestled in their matches. This is ironic because women were labeled as inferior, weak, belong in the kitchen, cook dinner, and take care of the kids while the men work. However, these women were the start of something big. These women did not follow the typically image. They were reinventing themselves. Some men called them "pigs" others had much respect for these women. Today, we see women wrestlers that look anything, but lady-like. If anything they look tough, but slutty. The image of women wrestlers have changed throughout the year. "The Great Moolah," was as some of the other ladies put it, "one tough broad." She was a women wrestling world champion for numerous years. She even eventually began managing other women wrestlers and training. She was a major competitor against Billy Wolfe, a women wrestler promoter. For the longest time, he ruled the sport. If you wanted to be big, then you had to go with Billy Wolfe. Billy seemed stereotypically manager. He took a giant percentage of the women's earnings, and even became sexually involved with many of them. This is because he had the power and used that to get what he wanted out of the women wrestlers. Eventually, "the Great Moolah" ran him into the ground. She even started the current WWF that we see on television today. Many of the women wrestlers back then got there start from being the "pusher" on a rollerball team or were recruited from the carnival. These women were not ordinary, they were much more. They were women wrestlers.
