Test with the comic Sound Words

Here is a quick idea of what I mean by the design I would like to approach, of course more detail would be applied but this is just a test.

Comic Research- Music/sound

Because of the idea i have thought of I will need to take into account about the sound that will be playing throughout the design. As the sound word effects are mainly base upon ambience sounds i feel as if using music in the background could slightly take away the impact of the typography, however it could also add to the impact as this might make the target audience imagine the sound themselves as long as the typography's design and emphasis has been taken into consideration greatly.

Comic Research Again

Just look around i found a website that does focus on how to make comics and tips for how its layed out, even though im just researching about the sound word effects and mainly the typography but i liked how they explain about how the typography is based upon sound so there is no fixed spelling and can be as informal as possible. Plus the design and emphasis in add when making the typography need to be taken into account considerably as this is the main thing that would give it the 'Punch'.

further research on comic typography

The idea I thought of before with using the text to emphasise the sound within an moving image i decided to research further into as i liked the idea so much. Comics use 'sound words' like Bang, Boom and whack!, I found out that I could relate this style to the Pop Art Movement as comics are based upon the movement.

So going deeper into my research I have looked at artworks that are considered Pop Art but still use typogralhy to create more of an impact on the audience. One of the most famous artworks like this is 'Whaam!' by Roy Lichtenstien.

As you can see the use of the WHAAM! sound word creates such an impact which is needed as theres no sound or music that would back up the image. I would like to incorporate this style into our work but add to it further by making the typography out of the actual material, for example with this image I could make the Whaam! look like fire or like small explosions in the shape of the letters.

research Ideas- Comic

while researching for ideas for our design one that popped into my head was comics, how they have word sounds like BANG or KABOOM and crazy stuff. One idea could possibly be something like an everyday event such as walking to work/school/uni etc. and the sounds having words.

For example if there is road works and a drill is being used, the sound is like a 'Drrrrrrrrrrrrr' so something like that could appear as well as the sound to emphasise the ambiance sound. Could even make it so the text itself is spelt from broken peices of concrete and have it vibrate/crack, just react to the sounds.

The main inspiration i got this idea from was mainly just this AMAZING FILM: Scott Pilgrim vs the World: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEgscdJO6H0

So looking further into the Comic/Pop art style i visited other places that used this style such as
Beano: http://www.beano.com/
Even certain games use this style such as XIII: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqc3t5mj1YE

At a later time i might try and make a quick design to show what i mean in better detail

Until next time cya
