It will also feature a glossary of terms and a reference section. This booklet will be an engaging and informative resource for Marvel fans who want to learn more about the complex and fascinating backstories of some of the most iconic villains in the Marvel universe.

Some Story and Note

This assignment was the final assignment of our module 'Print Media' and me being a Marvel Fanatic I wished to do something related to MARVEL COMICS. I was going through a rough patch during that time and it reminded me of the villains. All heros have inspiring backstories on how situations made them who they are but what about the villains? Some tragedies might've happened in their lives too which led them to this path of destruction and sorrow. This single thought was enough for me to start my research and to know more.

LAYOUT

After idealizing over the looks and aesthetic of the brand, we switched to the technicalities. We started with processes like SWOT Analysis and feature listing & persona mapping as those were one of our crusial points of research
