India has a very rich culture of comic books. We have so many stories to tell and great storytelling methods like those seen in Dastangoi (Dastangoi, 2018), which are now lost in time. But inrecent years, old comic book culture is being neglected over flashy websites and apps after the popularisation of social media and smartphones. Although we believe that traditional comic books do have a place in everyone’s heart, efforts must be made towards synthesising a more enjoyable comic reading experience for the young audience.
Working in collaboration really made this project a lot more productive, diverse and equally enjoyable throughout. The work generally was to put all the interactions and graphics on a platform while making it simple to navigate. I tried to move away from a typical GUI-based structure to a somewhat more comic-style experience. Which came out quite well and combing with the narrative itself it gets even more exciting.
