Comic Journalism: Loma Prieta Earthquake
A mix of an educational piece and also comic journalism, this project was about the San Francisco Bay Area Loma Prieta earthquake on October 17, 1989. The piece mixes considerable amount of text with pictorial representation. Spot blacks, digital text, hand drawings, and mixed media were used (colored pencils, pens, and illustrator's ink). It features borders between and around panels (hatching, whimsical lines, dots), freestanding panels, spot blacks and spot whites. It also required research into news reports and the USGS. (7 pages)
