4.  I chose the fonts shown as they are bold and fit my zombie
apocalypse vision. Having them all say dead or alive gives a
good perspective if the font works wells towards the title of
the product. I have decided on not choosing the expected
horror font as it is too generic and feels less serious than a
bold font that I have chosen. I added a bunch of images to
show what zombies look like for all different era. Having
futuristic, present and past images gives an idea of what era is
more realistic and more of the era I feel will fit my storyline.
Adding “hellhounds” gives more of a feel that zombies keep
coming as its not just humans that are coming back from the
dead. Also adding animals that people enjoy as zombies gives
more of a feel towards what the character feels having to
run/kill something that you care about. Doing this puts you
more in their position and makes you care more for the
character.

8. Contingency Planning
Potential Issue Solution
Backups not saving make sure to save every 5 minutes even if
there is no work done to make sure that I
don’t lose anything
Photoshop crashing as I am saving every 5 minutes the
application crashing will not be a problem
as I can reload and continue. If it happens
between a session without save there is an
option to retrieve unsaved data
Photoshop not working at all if this happens I will reinstall the program
and get the pc for any viruses or software
issues that may cause Photoshop to not
work
drawing tablet breaking/ not available if this happens then I will work on all the
speech parts during the comic and add the
drawings for it later as I cant at the
moment. Or I will look for a replacement
tablet if I am able to find one I will use it
until I get my own back/fixed
time To make sure I get this done I will make a
schedule to get my project done in the time
period like 30 minutes every certain day
with some extras depending on what time I
have for my project. I will not waste any
time in messing around with fonts or

9. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
lack of sleep I will make sure during my schedule I will
have enough room for sleeping to reset the
brain and not cause and sleep issues
Eye discomfort I will make sure that in my schedule I will
not have the sessions for too long to avoid
eye-discomfort and looking at the screen for
too long as it can cause this and more like
headaches.
