Making Comic Book UIs

One of my jobs on this project is as UI design which has been challenging because of the comic book look of the game. All of the Menus and HUDs have to look like something a reader might find in a comic book. As such I have to find some reference material on panel layout, lettering and art styles. If anyone is interested in any of these topics here are a few places to look at.

• A must read for comics would be Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud.
• A great reference for lettering traditions is Comic Book Grammar and Tradition.
• A very helpful adobe illustrator tutorial for comic book lettering by Jim Campbell, https://files.me.com/jim.campbell/qqt5ck.
