First Times, Part I

This semester I was in a class called "Working In Comics" which taught how comics are produced and the impact they have on society. The class was split into groups and each group was told to produce a comic book that would count as our final project. The group I was in decided to work off the idea of "first times". For the first installment we were talking about working with the "first time I fell in love" or the "first time I rode a bike" etc. In the end we agreed to work with theme of first time but not necessarily anything specific for the whole group. I liked the idea of doing a comic involving the first time i was in love. After contemplation, I decided to split my two page into the "first time I thought I was in love" and the "first time I knew I was in love". The time I thought I was in love would chronicle my relationship with Adam while when I knew I was in love would follow my relationship with Sharad. I settled on showing each event or moment in a Polaroid because they are just fragments of time and usually photographs are used to remember certain events.
