In search of levity and a modern superhero, cartoon and comic book style animation slay 2021.

Genres range from the clean and classic linear comics to pop art 3D and neon. Encompassing monochromatic Manga, ultra sci-fi Saga, and the cartoonish edge of Scott Pilgrim. The variety in comics holds special appeal right now as we strive to reach more diverse audiences than ever before. Coupled with the embrace of a return to humor, cartoons hold court.

This concept art from our feature wall masters this trend. The image is playfully bold. Assured and suggestive, the illustration’s lack of color heightens the attitude. Here, a blunt contrast. The mystery, power, and assertiveness of black rising off of a sterile, even innocent white backdrop. Jaunty type pairs with a brazen and antagonist character for a balanced message. Able to provide relief from everyday life or address life’s issues in an otherworldly way, comics are taking modern design to the next level.
