LO1.5
To print my comic as a booklet it would cost me £233.93 for 500 copies of the entire comic.
Janus Publishing Company was established in 1991. They are currently publishing more than 20 titles a year including many by unpublished authors. The main focus of the company is to publish new authors that produce interesting work. Janus Publishing offers self publishing and also Subsidy publishing therefore they will potentially publish my comic book.
Harper Collins is one of the worlds most famous Enlgish language publishers. They offer high quality content from classic stories to contemporay ficition. Also they publish difital dictionaries and many more!
Harper collins publishes fiction, non-fiction, reference, education, children's books, branded properties and digital products. Therefore they would publish my comic book.
Trafford publishing are a company who look to help authors to publish their books. They also help to promote work such as; on the radio, the internet and even at book signings. with 15 years of expierence they offer high quality standards for your book. Trafford publishing requires you to tell them about your book/comic to decide whether or not it is worth publishing
LO1.4
For the production I will need different things to be able to complete the production. Most of the things I need are basics:
5 Sheets of paper, 10 to make sure I have enough, would cost roughly 40p
36 Assorted Colouring Pencils - £5.19
Set of sketch pencils - £5.29
Set of pens - £4.19
If I was to start publishing and selling my comic the cost for printing one colour page would be 8p. Therefore for printing five it would cost 40p. If I wanted to print one thousand copies of my five pages, colour comic it would cost: £400 which is a reasonable amount of money.
As my comic is very graphic and includes a lot of bad language and gore my target audience is Teenagers to adults, more or less 17-40 year olds. Also, my target audience will also be for both male and females, mainly people who enjoy supernatural stories and a lot of blood and gore. However I feel that mainly younger people in my target audience will buy my comic as it will interest them more due to the fact it has a younger generation of characters in it. I will be selling my comic at £2.30.
Copyright - Copyright is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time. Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other, related rights.
It is an property form (like the patent, the trademark, and the trade secret) applicable to any expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete.
As my comic has come from an idea I developed from a Television program I will have to make sure that I don’t commit plagiarism. I will do this by making sure that my idea is more or less completely different to the original Idea, such as; Making sure character names aren’t the same, using a different concept in the actual idea to show that I haven’t or are not trying to copy the idea in anyway shape or form. I will need to change some minor details in the narrative so that they aren’t similar.
Therefore changing the double ganger to a virgin. However my narrative isn’t that similar to the original idea as the concept and the idea behind the narrative are completely different and it portrays a different meaning.
As my novel is based on the devil and Satan’s spawn I will have to be careful in order to not offend people that are Christian or believe in God by not disregarding that God doesn’t do anything to help the woman in order for her to eventually defeat Satan’s daughter.
However I feel I will not be offending anyone with creating this novel as its story is totally fiction. However by saying it’s fiction may give some people the opportunity to criticize the novel and argue that it is not fiction and could evidently happen in the future.
Certain language used in the novel may offend some people are there will be a fair amount of cussing throughout the novel. Also the cussing will be coming from one of the main characters which is a little girl, but this is purely for the reason that she is meant to be portrayed as evil and malicious, therefore bad language, I feel, is highly appropriate.

LO1.3
Task 3
Newspaper Comics -
Newspaper comics tend to be very short comic strips, that are usually about 1 – 3 panels long. They are usually humorous, and don’t contain much speech in them so they are kept short and sweet. Most are black and white, but occasionally you can find some coloured comic strips. The illustrations tend to be very simple and not too detailed.
Magazine Comics -
Magazine comics are a lot longer than newspaper comics, they can be an entire page or more, or an entire magazine of comics. They are usually coloured depending on the style of creator of the comic. There is more text is these comics and they usually follow a narrative.
Graphic Novels -
A graphic novel is a narrative work in which the story is conveyed to the reader using sequential art in either an experimental design or in a traditional comics format. The term is employed in a broad manner, encompassing non-fiction works and thematically linked short stories as well as fictional stories across a number of genres.
Graphic novels are typically bound in longer and more durable formats than familiar comic magazines, using the same materials and methods as printed books, and they are generally sold in bookstores and specialty comic book shops rather than at newsstands. Such books can now be found in libraries which once ignored comic books.
My comic will go into a magazine comic. I feel this would be the only one my comic would fit into as it wouldn’t be long enough to be considered a graphic novel. However it’s long enough to go into a magazine comic. My comic will follow a narrative and will have much more text so it wouldn’t be able to go into a newspaper.
Cartoon -
A cartoon is a form of two-dimensional illustrated visual art. While the specific definition has changed over time, modern usage refers to a typically non-realistic or semi-realistic drawing or painting intended for satire, caricature, or humor, or to the artistic style of such works. An artist who creates cartoons is called a cartoonist.
Flipbook –
A flip book or flick book is a book with a series of pictures that vary gradually from one page to the next, so that when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate by simulating motion or some other change. Flip books are often illustrated books for children, but may also be geared towards adults and employ a series of photographs rather than drawings. Flip books are not always separate books, but may appear as an added feature in ordinary books or magazines, often in the page corners. Software packages and websites are also available that convert digital video files into custom-made flip books.
I will be creating a Cartoon. I think that if I were to create a flipbook then I wouldn’t be able to create it to a high standard as flipbooks are harder and more complicated to create than cartoons are, they also take a lot of time and effort. Generally I enjoy cartoons more as they can be produced as a full story, where as it would take a long time to create a full story as a flipbook.
