The use of colour in Watchmen

This book was conceived as a study about how colour is used in comic. Focused on Watchmen, comic published between 1986 and 1987 by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons and John Higgins, it explores its different colour harmonies and how they influence narrative.

The importance of
 being coloured

It not only narrates how well-used are colours in the comic, but how it has been done in all Comic History. The main part of the project was, however, a visual study on cromatic ranges and colour harmonies.

All the book contains highlights and quotes from the authors. Typography is also a big component, used as a call for attention.

This is a personal non-commercial project.
