For my time map assignment, I created a comic page inspired by various “daily comic” works I’ve seen around on social medias like Instagram and Twitter. The intention was for the artwork of the comic to be simplistic and humorous. As for my process, throughout my day on August 23rd I wrote in the Notes app on my phone where I was and what I was doing for each hour. Of course, I didn’t write down every single action I did on that day, as that would result in a comic with thousands of panels. Rather, I tried to focus on one particular action or location of the hour and turned that into an illustration. The materials used for my comic were very minimal, all I needed was a micron drawing pen and a piece of paper.
The day begins at 12 AM. Then, I condensed my sleeping time into a single frame. Originally, I was going to include 24 frames in the comic to represent all 24 hours of the day, but I found that trying to fit 24 panels on an 8.5” x 11” piece of paper was very difficult. My day continues as I go to a doctor’s appointment, go shopping, spend time at home, read, take a nap, etc.… until the day concludes at 12 AM on August 24th. Some other panels have condensed time (nap, at home) to create a final result of fifteen square panels to represent my day.
