Reply To: Upcoming 2022 Visual Planning Meeting(s)

That is awesome! Thank you for taking the initiative to make something new and very cool!

Notes back from your Visual Graphic Team Lead (or as they say in the industry AD = Art Director):

1. We do have to stick to an brand standard, which I think we will dive into more in the next meeting. Think of it like a pokemon, a squirtle doesn’t evolve into a Charizard. We have a look and we should be growning into new things but still be identifiable as CBS.
2. Buddy and I both come from a marketing background and are pretty particular with the overall look of the graphics following a branded format so they can be recognizable as CBS. But while we have soildified the brand in the past year, we need it to grow from the recognisable format if that makes sense. We can take inspriation from Marvel and DC but we shouldn’t be so different that people don’t know we are comic book school …there is a build example I was working on below so you can get the idea.
3. Also after these first couple meetings (mtgs) in 2021 we are goin to put a lot of these conversations in the Graphic Request Forum. While I would love to have more discussions about the look of things in the Main Forum, a lot of the graphics and information we will be discussing is in the pre-production or planning phase so it will be announced to the community on a schedule, we make the graphics for those upcoming dates especially for things ‘not yet annoucned’.

Thank you again for going for it, let me know if you have any questions.
I look forward to seeing more of your work and your style going forward in 2022. 🙂
