Because I have opted to place all of my print pieces into a comic style strip - I opted to research how they have been laid out by various illustrators and came across Emily Carrolls work. I liked the idea of breaking away from formulaic boxes and that elements could interconnect together keeps the story fluid. Style wise I have also found Emily Carrolls work to be particularly inspiring, visually it once again utilises a handmade- hand-drawn although the colours have very clearly been added via software - I love how the story has been told and linked through the images- as such I think I need to integrate some sense of story - in the terms of actual words - that can punctuate my illustrations and further clarify my idea.
Keeping the background as a plain white colour has really made the colours brighter and have allowed for more design freedom in terms of how the story is told through layout and negative space.
