The Office of Marketing and Communications at Nicholls State University is always looking to expand the university’s brand, including to audiences that may one day attend Nicholls. This comic book is designed starring the Nicholls Mascot, Colonel Tillou to promote Nicholls State University to a younger audience.
The contents of the comic depict Colonel Tillou attending the classes, events, and activities found at Nicholls State University. To accomplish this, multiple references of locations and persons around the campus are used for the background and figures present in the comic.
The process of creating this comic started out on paper with ink and pencil before being scanned into Adobe Photoshop for refining and the addition of color. Afterwards, the individual pages are brought into Adobe InDesign for adding text, for which the “Comic” font is used. This font is the same font used in traditional comic books.
