A construção de personagens inspirados em pessoas reais no design de narrativas gráficas: um estudo aplicado na criação de um mini-gibi autoral

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the development of characters inspired by real people in the design of graphic narratives. It proposes the creation of an original mini-comic that integrates principles of graphic design and visual storytelling. In this context, the work seeks to explore the following question: how can the design of characters inspired by real individuals visually represent physical traits and personality aspects in an original mini-comic? To address this, scientific and project-based methodologies were adopted, including case analysis and the adaptation of product design stages, aiming to demonstrate how graphic representation contributes to a clear, expressive, and accessible narrative. The study intends to offer insights that connect both with the academic field and creative practices in the development of characters for original visual stories
