for a project at university, we were asked to create short graphic responses to lock down. I chose to create three small graphic novels all relating to this theme.
The first response I made was a short comic based on some diary entries I had made while I was sick with COVID.
For my second outcome I decided to create a graphic novel based on my idea of taking a traditional story and putting it in a modern lockdown context.
The first one I made was about Cinderella:
The third comic I made was about Sleeping Beauty:
For these comics I mainly used pop culture references from online or specifically TikTok since both spaces boomed during lockdown. Both comics include animal crossing, baking, tinder and the sleeping beauty comic includes more specific references such as the strawberry dress and banana bread.
All of these responses were made over the course of a day, from conception to outcome these all took me around 1 hour each. I didn't want to spend too long on these since the whole point was to show three different ideas so I didn't want to get too detail oriented with how they looked. All's that mattered to me was that the general story was put across.
