Design Problem: Design a triptych about the left and right brain

My Solution: Create a comic book, personifying the left and right brain as a man and woman in love.

Because illustration is hands down my favorite part of graphic design, when I got this task in my Design Drawing Techniques class, I wanted to go into a comic book, illustrative direction!

And, if you know anything about me, you’ll know I’m a hopeless romantic, so I personified the left and right brain as a man and woman in love. The left side shows the (left brain) man’s perspective before the two meet, their encounter, and their following relationship, while the right side is for the (right brain) woman.

The point in the story was to convey that when each character (side of the brain) is alone, they’re sad and lacking fulfillment, but when working and living together in unison, harmony is finally reached. How romantic!
