I decided to do the How To _______ design assignment and create a book cover for a book on how to be a certain character.

I decided to do make one for Ziggy as his quirks and “skills” would be easy to come-up with.

I used a screenshot I took from one of the earlier episodes in season 2 and erased the background. I then added in the text. I chose Helvetica for “How To” since most how-to series would use a standard, basic font for the how-to. I made “Ziggy” orange in color and chose the font Curlz MT as it seemed weird and spunky like he is. I then put the list of skills in Comic Sans, because just like the font, no one takes him seriously.

I tried to choose “skills” that none of the other characters display, such as dressing really vibrantly (although Bubbles is pretty close), caring (poorly) for a duck, taking dick pictures (as part of a prank), naming his car “Princess,” and finally losing his shit and shooting a couple people because he was “tried of the being the punchline of a joke.” I think it’s a pretty good representation of him. While they may not be the skills he wants to be known for, I think they really do represent some of his more memorable moments, and they also show his growth as a character from someone who is annoying and dresses oddly to someone capable of causing significant harm and whose sanity should be questioned.
