THE CLOSE ESCAPE

The Close Escape is a digital comic that mixes audio

Layout Design
ankur with visuals in a sequential manner to create a new
narrative experience. Though occurrence of comics
on digital medium like web or in form of e-book is
nothing new but these comics still face the
competition posed by their paper book
counterparts. This is where audio comics like close
escape stands out. An audio visual comic provides a
more engaging experience than text based comics.
The audio is more readily assimilated in the mind
without disrupting the narrative flow of the story.

Story: It’s the story of a calf that is in a butcher shop

about to be axed. He is very scared as the butcher is
approaching and now its his turn. But then the fly
comes to his rescue and cuts his rope.

Challenges: The main challenge was in blending

audio with visuals. The user uses arrow keys to
navigate through the frames of the story. In this
comic both illustrations as well as animation plays
an important role as the viewer has freedom of
viewing it in form of animation or as comic. The idea
was to focus more on the surrounding and the
noises in the surrounding of a butcher shop.

Target Audience: It primarily targets to comic user

in the age group of 20 to 25 years, who have access
to computers and love reading and viewing digital
comics and animation.

THE TWIN BROTHERS

The Twin Brother is a digital comic that mixes visuals
in a sequential manner to create a new narrative
experience. It moves like a movie instead of a
traditional book explaining all the pages in a comic
form.

Story: It’s the story of twin brothers and child

psychology. It revolves around the stronger brother
overruling the weaker and the way he treats his
younger brother by plotting problems for him. It
shows how the younger brother gets out of the
difficulties faced by him and teaches a lesson to his
brother.

Challenges: The main challenge was in drawing similar

faces of brothers and showing their emotions. In this
comic both illustrations as well as animation plays an
important role as the viewer has the option of viewing
it in form of animation or as comic. The idea was to
focus more on the illustrations.

Target Audience: It targets to all age group who have

access to computers and love reading and viewing
digital comics and animation.

 HEAVEN WITHIN

It is an animation movie which is a mix of audio with

visuals in a sequential manner. It is a cell animation
which is majorly done by hand painting.

Story: This story is about a crow that always looks

on the other side of the grass thinking that others
are better than him. He tries to convert himself into
another bird which is more beautiful and brightly
colored than him. But later he understands that
originality lies within, which makes him happy again
with his life. The moral of the story is that one
should think whatever god has given him is the best
and he has to make the most out of it and strives to
do something more.

Challenges: The main challenge was in creating a cell

animation which involves making lots of images of
the character on paper without making a single
mistake. I have applied required animation
principles and used light-box to create character
movements on paper. Emphasis has been given to
colorings style which is more like painting. The
characters are simple in nature.

Target Audience: It’s a movie for all age groups

who loves to see animation movie.
HEAVEN WITHIN

HEAVEN WITHIN
 MY LIFE

It is a stop motion clay animation which is

about sculpting and designing characters to
understand the movements properly. The
idea was to design a slogan based movie in
a cartoon form which can influence children
to control deforestation.

Story: This story is about an old tree

narrating his glorious youthful days when it
was full of leaves and used to enjoy. Then it
was chopped off by humans in a cruel way
but it doesn't regret that instead it wants to
give a message that this act is destroying
the nature and we should protect trees.

Challenges: The challenge was in creating

different sculptures of the tree and giving
emotions to a clay character. Premier Pro
was used for editing and effects which play
an important role in creating background
and when the tree goes in flashback to
narrate his life.

Target Audience: It’s a movie for all age

groups but especially for children.

INTERACTIVE E-WALL

Concept: This project is thought in an attempt to save the beauty and

heritage of our historical monuments. It provides a medium to the visiting
public to express their feeling about the place, their presence or feedback
on an electronic wall. It would be a multi-touch screen wall which can be
used for graffiti without scratching the monument’s walls. It would provide
various options for the users to scribble on the e-wall and to save their
message for future visits.

Challenges: The challenge was in creating the prototype and in the

research study as it involved many visits to historical monuments to
identify the problems and its solution. A paper was placed on the wall to
encourage visitors to scribble on it which helped us identify the
requirement of people to mark their presence.

Target Audience: It’s targeted for teens and adults who can use the touch
screen.

Functionality:

• Person approaches
