Thesis Proposal
Summary: I will produce a weekly web comic. It will be about
a zoologist who is sent out into the world to help gather the DNA of every
animal in the world for future research purposes. Every two months will
highlight a different region in the world and each week will highlight a
particular animal species. In addition to the comic, there will be a blog post
underneath with a hand drawn picture of the featured animal and a short
biography of it.
Concept: the purpose of this project is to be a fun
educational tool to teach people about well-known and obscure animal species.
When people learn about animals that they find interesting, they are more
inclined to help in their conservation. Before I chose design as my major, I
wanted to be a zoologist, or something of one.
Inspiration: I have always been interested in methods used
for preserving endangered species, particularly the large DNA banks kept for
research purposes. There has been talk recently of doing a more large scale DNA
bank for all species and I wanted to highlight the subject.
Design Elements: I will be making my own website,
illustrations, typeface, and business cards with QR link to the web comic.
