Think, Conceptualize, Draw

In a sense, cartoons are made to amuse. Their nature is so appealing and inviting that you can just laugh when they're in your sight. They can be used for anything. An example is the black and white comic strips in newspapers about politics.


It also starts with a drawing, this is art. It can also be accompanied by a caption, because that is where the concept lies. The way they are drawn, the intention is to represent issues symbolically and often satirically as in the image that accompanies this text, above.In that context, we also get the non-literal part of design, this is experienced verbally and by sight.

The background of having a cartoon in the way that it is desired to be is the starting point. The origination.

There is to set humour like in a Comic strip.


To give visual commentary like in Political cartoons-which are satirical rather than funny.
To give a viewpoint of the subject that is for instance the cartoonist on a political level.

All the above are the few functions. 

Cartoons are usually designed for children. They are about silly, amusing things like superheroes. It is also in the essence of laughter. This is why cartoons have to be in a state and designed that a child's brain understands what is sees with the eye.
These are what children cartoons should look like.

There are adult cartoons as well such as Family Guy. So, when the artist begins to think, conceptualize, draw, the audience that the artist is designing for is important and must meet the purpose that the artist had in mind from the beginning.Design is to do or plan something with a specific purpose in mind? All missions will be accomplished. Each character of the whole show being designed has its own shape, personality and attributes, the construction of the figure itself has to evolve around these qualities so that the character is probable in the eye of the audience.

Cartoons promote positivism, they create and they add value.
