Between 2010-2020 342,500 new jobs will be added in the fields

of art, design, entertainment, sports,

and media occupations. That’s a

growth rate of 12.6%. (Lockard & Wolf, 2012)

In the last two years, 28 movies based on American comic book franchises have been released to the general public, including live action and animated films. Just in the last year, eight video games based off of American comic book franchises have been released. With this surge of popularity in the comic book industry due to the entertainment sectors of film, video games, as well as others, many nationally top rated art schools are now offering degree programs in the fields of Cartooning, Illustration and Sequential Art.

Page 8: Salcido 10 4 1 final

1.3SWOT ANALYSIS

5

STRENGTHS• 3 year intensive program study exclusively in

cartooning• Comic book career reputation that follows the family

name of Kubert• Faculty consists of working professionals in the comic

book industry

OPPORTUNITIES• Resurgence in popularity of the comic book

industry• Job opportunities opening in many other

entertainment industries looking for cartoonist, I.e. Film, Video Games, Toys, etc.

• Career opportunities and advice from working profes-sionals in the comic book industry

WEAKNESSES• Smaller institute, means smaller intake of new students• Lack of national recognition as a competitive art school• Weak media and advertising presence

THREATS• Decrease in comic book industry popularity• Flooding of the market and lack of job opportunities for graduates• Larger competitor art schools offering more degree programs in the fields of Illustration, Sequential Art and Cartooning

*POSITIONING*Being the only accredited private art school in the nation that’s sole purpose is to educate their students on the materials, skills and knowledge of the comic book and cartooning industry helps the Kubert School stand out from their competition.

*COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE*The Kubert School has long lasted in the education sector, not just for the popularity of Joe Kubert and his sons amazing careers in the comic book industries, but because the school has employed faculty of comic industry professionals. This factor is a big draw for many fans of the industry. With the push from the film industry to buy up as many comic titles as possible to create into billion dollar block busters, the boom in comic book popularity has brought forward a resurgence in the industry, and a need for more talent to keep up with the over 100 comic book titles released a month.

*GOAL*Being over looked by many potential art students due to larger competitors media presence and national advertising, the plan is to rebrand the Kubert School as not just an exclusive cartoon and graphic art school but as a well-balanced three year intensive art school of illustration in which to increase the size of the school and it’s yearly student intake thus increasing its impact in the educational sector.

NAME: Abigail “Abby” Hendricks

STORY: Jeffery Dockett, a 28-year-old stay at home freelancer living in Baltimore, Maryland with his lovely wife, Elena and his stepdaughter, Lily. He enjoys having his weekends being filled with bike rides, hikes or a simple day of board games with Elena, Lily and some close friends. Very much a nerd in his own right, he loves his books, board games, roleplaying games and comic books. He’s been attending comic book conventions since he was 15. He has always dreamed of making comic books for a living. At 22, Jeffery received his bachelor’s degree in graphic design; Jeffery feels he’s abandoned his true passion of writing and illustrating comic books. He feels he is lacking in his visual storytelling skills due to the amount of time he’s taken off from drawing sequential art due to his freelance career. Jeffery is seeking a correspondence style schooling or at least a school close by to help him reach his goal of illustrating his comic series and maybe getting it published. With the support of his wife, stepdaughter and best friend, his eight-year-old poodle Charlie, he is set out to find his aid.

STORY: Abigail, is a 19-year-old high school graduate still living at home and working as a barista at her local cafe in San Diego, California. At a young age her mother, who is a casual painter, would take her and her younger brother to museum exhibits to see some of the greats masterpieces on display, while her father would take them on weekly trips to the comic book shop. Due to these field trips, she became a huge fan of the arts, from oil paintings, digital arts to the funny pages in the newspaper. Later in life she became more and more drawn towards the fantastical world of comics. Her father took her to her first comic book convention at the age of 9 and since then she regularly attends comic book conventions, especially the San Diego Comic-Con. Taken to drawing her own comic stories and being an avid digital user, she shares them with all her friends and fans using the popular social media websites DeviantArt, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Having, what she considers, a life she’s con-tent with, she dreams of more, and with her very supportive parents and friends, she’s seeking a higher education.

2.3LOGO DEVELOPMENT

The idea behind emphasizing and bringing focus to the ‘K’ of the name Kubert became the key element to creating a strong and memorable logo design. Then with refinements to certain design lay-outs, the idea of adding a burst dialogue bubble behind it added a descriptive symbol that aids in representing what the school offers, which is an education in cartooning and graphic art.

DEVELOPMENT

#1 Concept Sketch: This sketch introduced an idea of creating an all-in-one website home page with no scrolling necessary. It gave a look and feel of sleek design and punctuated the new brand logo.

#2 Concept Sketch:This design followed closely with the first design, but incorporated a layout that supports the print ads and stationary sketches for possible deliverables to connect all assets created throughout this campaign.

“The best websites understand their customers and respect their needs and preferences. A company’s website should quickly answer these questions: ‘Who is this company? Why does anyone need to know? What’s in it for me?’” (Wheeler, 2009)

To capture the look and feel of this campaign

to the comic book page. By the proper scaling and

clear space presented, the ‘K’ has a presence that is memorable and

recognizable to that of this projects theme. With this

simple, yet effective logo, the Kubert School now

has a brand logo that is very versatile.

Malayalam Sangam MN is strong, legible and appropriate to the projects theme as a modern twist to the classic comic book, specifically, a comic book title, hence it should be used for headline purposes. As for the Hapna Mono, it too has a familiar tone that is reminiscent of the comic book page. It is a light weighted font and should be used with 1pt. stroke effect for type of 16 pt. or higher and .25pt. stroke effect for smaller type to thicken it and make it more legible.

ADVERTISING

The Headline will be placed at the top of all print ads and presented boldly to grab the attention of viewers.

A third of the print ad, from the bottom up, will display the full-color logo pulling emphasis on the ‘K’ of the Kubert School logo. It will be shown along side with a body copy of what the school represents, the new Brand Identity tag line, and upon the artwork itself presented in the ad, will be the artists name, which is a Kubert School alumni.

Currently the Kubert School only has print ads inside comic books and comic book related magazines, but with a wider print ad campaign utilizing ad space within, not only comic books, comic book related magazines, but also art, graphic art and art education magazines, such as Drawing, Hi-Fructose, Juxtapoz and Sketch magazine, just to name a few. This is to reach out to more people that fit the target demographic of the Kubert School.

The current state of the schools website was unappealing and was difficult finding theimportant information that needs to be shared to the viewer. Thus a new design had to be engaging and offer everything the viewer needs to easily navigate the full site accessible on the home page.

The site would be designed to have all major pages needed to navigate the full site directly positioned on the home page and make it easily accessible without a need to scroll up or down. This helps a viewer from having to unnecessarily explore the home page to find important information.

Seeing as websites tend to become the

foundation of the new brands look and feel for

a company or institute, it has to be designed and offered to be accessed, explored and seen upon

different screens and scalable sizes.

4.5SOCIAL MEDIA

With the rising popularity of companies using social media pages as an aid to spread their brand to a wider audience, new and redesigned Facebook and Instagram pages will be created in accordance to the new branding elements of the campaign to connect current students, faculty and the target demographic to the Kubert School.

The use of a Facebook page will benefit the school by utilizing it to announce school events and Alumni achievements. As well as sharing current students work to potential students and fans.

With the popularity of sites like Instagram, it would benefit the Kubert School to use this to share student work and photographs of school events and daily life on campus.

ITEMS

By developing these inexpensive, simple, yet engaging, promotional

items to hand out at conventions that the Kubert School would

attend, will be a direct line to the target

demographic. As well the school could sell better

quality tote bags and t-shirts in the art store for students, who, then

become walking advertisements for the

school.
