Brief Title - Image Comics Series Proposal
Brief - This brief is to produce a proposal for a new comic series that will then be pitched to image Comics at Thought Bubble if they do pitch reviews again, If not the pitch will be sent via there submissions site after receiving feedback from pros at Thought Bubble 2015. I will be working in collaboration with a writer, so he will take on all the writing duties though I have had significant input into the plot and the concept.
Product - The main product to be produced is a 7 page preview of the comic and also to produce a cover, though I will also need to produce a cover letter and a pitch as part of the package, though I'm working with a writer for this my main job will be to make it look good.
Tone of Voice - The comic is set in post apocalyptic Britain thirty years after 80% of the population disappeared, the way we've tried to make our comic unique from the other post apocalyptic comics out there is that ours is going to be quintessentially British and we really want to try and find the beauty in the British apocalypse where as many other post apocalyptic media is based in deserts we want our comic to contrast these, It's also a story about survival. This will mean I'll be looking at beautiful landscapes and vibrant colours.
Audience - The audience for our comic is 16 - 35 year olds, mainly British people but I think our version of Britain is the idyllic idea of Britain that will also apply to an American audience. I want to keep the audience gender neutral as i feel the emerging female market of comics like Saga is a big market we could tap in to and strong female characters are a big part of the comic.
Context - I want to create a comic in a similar vein to series such as Y the Last Man and Saga by Brian K. Vaughn and Zero and Wolf by Ales Kot and Matt Taylor. The Great Salt Lake by Matt Taylor is another touchstone for the series.
Additional Notes - This comic has the potential to become my big kahuna as this will only be the start of the comic and I would very much like to continue it after sending the pitch to Image Comics.
Deliverables -
1 Comic Book Cover
7 Sequential Pages
1 Cover Letter
1 Plot Summary
A Series of Character Designs
