Take a picture and experiment with the âHalftone Effectâ in some photo editing software to create a comic book effect. There are lots of tutorials on Youtube and Google.

I chose this assignment because I loved the idea of creating a comic using a photo, and I was surprised at how simple it was to do. The image I used is from the perspective of a character I created, Finn Calloway, who lives in NYC. This particular shot represents a POV of his walk back to his penthouse. I took the photo during a trip to NYC on a rainy day. Since most comics Iâve read are set in New York, I thought this image of people walking down a street between tall buildings really captured that classic comic vibe. To create the comic effect, I used Canva. Although I know the halftone effect in Canvaâs premium version would be ideal, I used the “Screen” filter as an alternative to give it that comic-like appearance.
