Bright colours and exaggerated expressions were key features of Pop Art inspired by comics,
making the pictures look dramatic and eye-catching.
Integration of Art Styles into Comic Strips
Comic strips borrowed ideas from Pop Art by using bright, bold colours and enhanced visual
effects to make them more exciting.
Some comic artists experimented with creative and different backgrounds, inspired by bold
Pop Art designs.
Modern comics use Pop Art techniques such as high contrast, simple shapes and flat colours
to make the artwork stand out.
The mix of Pop Art and comic strips influenced graphic novels, advertisements, and digital
illustrations, making them more colourful, creative, and fun to look at.
