Dotman Toolkit is inspired by the old system comic books printing of the early 30s and that lasted until the late 80s, the system was known as 4-color process or 4CP and characterized by being economical and of low quality.
The 4CP inspired many creators of Pop Art and remains today as a style in graphic design. The goal of Dotman Toolkit is to imitate all the aesthetics of old comic books.
