Parallels Between Comic Book Narratives and UX Design

I made this illustration as Spider-Man 2 released around this Halloween for PS5 and Peter Parker is a character I always loved since childhood.

Comic books, with their captivating narratives and relatable characters, have long held the power to inspire and connect with audiences. Beyond the realm of entertainment, comic books offer valuable insights into human nature, personal struggles, and the triumph of the human spirit.

Peter Parker's struggle with the Venom symbiote is a powerful metaphor for the internal conflict that many individuals face, particularly those battling addiction or mental health issues. The symbiote, with its ability to amplify Peter's darkest urges, represents the temptation to succumb to self-destructive behaviors, seeking quick fixes or escape from pain. However, Peter's refusal to fully embrace the symbiote's influence serves as a testament to the strength of his moral compass and his unwavering commitment to doing what is right. This moral dilemma mirrors the challenges faced by individuals who grapple with internal demons, seeking to overcome their struggles and make positive choices.

Peter's unwavering adherence to his uncle Ben's teachings, particularly the mantra "with great power comes great responsibility," serves as a guiding force throughout his journey. This moral compass provides him with the strength to resist the symbiote's influence and make choices that align with his values.
Similarly, UX designers can draw inspiration from Uncle Ben's wisdom to create interfaces that prioritize user needs and ethical considerations. By putting the user first, UX designers can create experiences that are both functional and meaningful, empowering users to achieve their goals and navigate complex tasks with confidence.
I used Eleven Labs to make suitable voices that fit the characters of spider-man universe , drew it in procreate and synchronised them in a video editing software to achieve this digital art.
