I definitely wanted to do some kind of flip book before the project. At first I wanted to base my narrative about a fish. I wanted it to be completely dark. I tried drawing on photoshop and on paper, but I simply can't draw. So I had to come up with something else. My cat was the inspiration for this project as well as the song "Party Rock" by LMFAO. He always tries to interrupt what I'm doing and asks for attention. He always steps all over my computer and sits on the keyboard. That is when the idea came to my head. If my cat is not stepping all over me, he would be sleeping. He always seems so bored and tired. He sleeps ALOT. So I came up with the idea of him partying every time I leave my apartment.
I wanted this project to be simple and straight forward. I found the website www.toondoo.com because I wasn't having any luck with photoshop. The website is very user friendly, and really helped me show the ideas in my head. (I wish I can draw) I was a little hesitant at first if I should do this because it's really ridiculous, but I'm glad I did. I created a comic at first, but the boxes were too small. I then created a book (another option from the website) and it's actually pretty cool because you can flip the pages like a normal book. I really liked that effect. I also like how the boxes are bigger and you can see better. I only created four different but similar images. I wanted it to be short and straightforward. The only thing I'm not happy about, is that I was limited to the images I can use.
Overall, I like how my project turned out. I think it's funny and creative. Maybe kinda childish, but for some reason that's what I think of what comics should be. It definitely portrayed my narrative very well. I always wonder what my cat is up to when I'm not home.
