My best marker comp this semester was of the Marceline pamphlet. I should specify that my criteria for a marker comp does not overlap with my standards for a good design; while I think my Marceline pamphlet was a tad boring design-wise, the marker comp was very tight and looked very similar to the final product. I also think that it was this assignment in which my Prismacolor marker skills finally began improving, and I got the hang of blending colors together to match those in the photographs.
I knew that I had to be especially precise with this comp because of the copy fitting, but the precision extended further into the marker rendering of the photographs, such as the picture of the Marceline Hometown Museum. I think this picture is my most tightly rendered yet – certainly better than the very first marker comp assignment. I’m also happy with the map of Marceline because it’s an actual map of Marceline, but it’s much prettier than a screen shot of a Google Map.
But mainly I chose to include my Marceline Pamphlet in my final portfolio because it was a complicated project to begin with, due to the panels and copy fitting, and I am actually a bit surprised that it turned out as well as it did despite the challenges. And aside from the mediocre design, I would have no problem presenting it to a client.
Oh, you wanted a picture? Scroll down, please : )
