effect on audience

There are several things that we want our audience to get from our project. One of these is we want our audience to think it is funny. Although most superhero stories are meant to be serious, we added a twist to ours so that the audience will have an easier time reading it because it is humorous. We did this by adding in everyday life items such as the iphone as a source of their powers. We wanted to make it funny by doing something no one would think of. Not many people would think that a phone could give you powers. Another thing we want the audience to see is that our comic strip is exciting. It is like most of the other superhero stories; the hero gets to save something. We added this component because we wanted the audience to still feel like they are reading a regular comic strip. We want our audience to be able to read it and know that is it a comic strip and we want them to feel like it could actually be a real comic. We tried to achieve this by not only keeping some parts of a hero story line, but setting up our images in a way that is familiar to most readers. Another aspect we added to our strip that we think the audience will notice is that it is very adventurous. This keeps our comic interesting throughout the whole thing. When our comic isn’t funny, it is adventurous so that we could keep our audience involved. We did this by having our superhero be a normal person which then gets super powers. When he saves someone it becomes more adventurous because he never had those powers before. All of these things are parts that we think we incorporated well into our comic so that the audience can see the effect we want on them. I think that this project will overall help me grow as a writer. I think this because I have never had to do something like this before, where you have to combine not only words, but a visual. I am use to working in groups, but I have never had to try and put everyone’s ideas together to make a picture. I think that by doing this project I am learning how to use my ideas to the fullest. What I mean by this is that when I am writing a paper I do not usually think about what the audience is envisioning in their mind. When doing this project the ideas that I would have put in a paper are in a visual, something that the audience can see. That helps me realize that the audience could see something different then I do. It also helps me grow as a writer because it helps me be more inventive with my ideas. When you are in a group with people who all have different ideas, you need to make your ideas something that can help enhance the project. I now realize that when I think of ideas they need to be something that other people can relate with, but also something that will interest them as well.
