AOB 1 - Plan

Unit 3: Media Production (Level 3)

The title for my graphic novel is going to be ‘Gobbledegook.’ I have chosen this because I believe it to be an interesting name, it’s going to draw people into picking up the novel, because its not a title that would usually be found on a graphic novel front cover, it has an air of mystery.

The target audience for the graphic novels would be teenagers from 17+ simply because of all the references to sex, drugs and violence, these aspects would not be in a novel for somebody younger because of the CCA laws, and also when writing the storyline in more detail, I can relate to the age group because of me being the same age.
The graphic novel is going to be about 5 students who are all starting at college in September, there is going to be a brief outline of their upbringing just before they go to college, this is a chance to introduce the characters to the reader, so they can have a great understanding once the characters start college.

Because I am the only person within this production piece, I’m going to be assigned for all the roles, I thought about including other people In the creation of the graphic novel but I feel that I would work better by myself. By creating a graphic novel it would work better for me than the movie trailer, simply because of my vast knowledge within Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, and also my interest in graphic novels, so I understand what styles I’m looking for and the layouts used in different styles of graphic novels, I have created other items on Photoshop and Illustrator, such as Adverts, Double Page Spreads and front covers, so I could use my skills within this creation.

I’m going to be working in Room 41/24/44 to create this, and I’m going to be using a Mac computer, a Tablet and a Pen to create the drawings, and I’m going to use a camera, to take images, so I can draw over them artistically with other graphic novels styles in mind.
