Detour Sketch – Banner


Over the years RPG manuals have developed a set of layout conventions – most of them have a banner (art running across the top of a page) or a border (art usually running down the outside side of each page) for the pages of the book. I can’t tell you when or why these conventions developed but one or the other (sometimes both) have been in most of the material I’ve looked at. The folks at 3Hombres have asked me to illustrate banners for the projects I’ve worked on. The sketch above is for the banner for Detour. This scenario involves a road trip and … let’s call them zombies … so hopefully this banner properly represents that flavor.

Storyboard 3


And here is the last of the panels that I’ve found for that Comcast commercial.

(If you came by yesterday you’ve already seen this and need to scroll down for the earlier panels. I originally posted them out of order. Not that it matters much.)

Storyboard 1


I haven’t done much storyboard work. During the Labor of Love Design Studio years I storyboarded two commercials on my own and did touch up work on a third. These two panels are from, probably, 1998. They were for a commercial about Comcast cable for a company somewhere on the East Coast. I’ll only be showing a few of the panels. Not because I don’t want to bore you (when has that stopped me before) but because I’m not sure where the rest of the storyboard is. I only found part of it when I was going through my flat files. I’ll be posting more panels tomorrow and Wednesday.
