I-Wish-I-Could-Draw Graphic Memoir, Places Segment

Awareness of the outside world. Science on Screen: The Rules of Cartoon Physics, speech by Linda Simensky, vice president of children’s programming at PBS.

~~~

Graphic of 14 states, 1 city, and 1 country represented by colored circles.

Purple – Places I lived.

Green – Places I lived long enough to get mail. Camps & school.

Orange – Places I visited often enough to feel familiar. Family.

Limitation. In most cases, only a small part of state was involved.

Process Notes

Secondary colors because primary colors are too horse show.

Map? Eh. Unoriginal. Also might have copyright issues, plus leaving much blank space. Stylized map, using proportionate rectangles? No. Lack the chops. Reduce to an abstraction? Ding. Ding. Ding. I did it this way because it was what I could do. Don’t hate it.

Premise

I love graphic novels. Unfortunately, it is an admiration that is not returned. This project is to see what I can do for a graphic memoir without being able to draw.

As with previous segment, doesn’t stand alone. Would work as chapter opener. [Jobs]
