ABOUT ELLYGEH
ELLYGEH
is my online alias
and the name of my clothing
brand, about gaming and 80s
and 90s nostalgia. I focus on
creating unique clothing using
my illustration and design
skills, and want to expand to
creating unique stories as well,
with unique visuals for
clothing and short comics in
digital/print forms as well.
ABOUT THE BOOK
BOOPIE BOOPS is a coming of age story under development about a girl who accidentally opens up a portal where cute and strange creatures invade her world, and she must save them by skateboarding. That’s right, skateboarding. It’s an endearing story about acceptance, and taking responsibility for your own life and helping the people around you.
This Digital Book is about introducing the story to the world and documenting the initial concept art for the project, showing the development and evolution of the visual style for the project.
STORY COMIC SKETCH OUTLINE
This is the initial outline plan for
the last pages of the book. Using Blake Snider’s Save the cat Story outline, I created this short outline to flesh out the idea of the first pages comic to introduce the main character, Amary and set up her world and everyday life. Until the main spark shocks her life and world with the introduction of the boopie boops.
CREATING PERSONAS
By talking and interacting with some of the followers of my brand on instagram, I’ve developed 2
different provisional personas that represent them the best way possible, to create a book that is interesting for them:
USER STORIES & KEY TASKS
With the personas created, I had a clearer idea to create User
Stories and Key Tasks for the book.
SHORT COMIC SKETCH
With the comic outline
finished and the book layout
almost gone, I can finish the last pages of the book with the comic sketch. The comic sketch is meant to be a sneak peek of the upcoming comic, and display my early sketching process for page flow layout.
FINAL BOOK LAYOUT
With the Layout, comic
sketch and cover finished,
now it is time to compile the
final book. The book was designed and edited in Adobe InDesign and exported as an interactive PDF.
FINAL BOOK LAUNCH
The Digital book was then launched
online for a limited time. Below is the link to the final PDF file of the book:
