Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth is the most well known works of illustrator Chris Ware. The story focuses on the character Jimmy Corrigan who has a down and cold personality and his awkward relationship amongst his family. The main aspect of the story is Jimmy meeting his dad for the first ever time in a Michigan town.
Despite the fact he is initially classified as an illustrator; in my opinion his work in terms of style and communication is based highly around graphic design. I believe this simply because of the digital quality of the images from Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth and bold/symbolic approaches to scenes and characters.
The composition of the images altogether are extremely geometrical; which can be highly related to the processes of adobe illustrator. Also the style of the images being computer based in my opinion also look purely vector based because of the bold colours and lines featured in the images. Despite my opinion of the images having a modern digital quality; Chris Ware constantly uses traditional media to produce his illustrations and alters them on the computer; giving them their digital and symbolic style.
