Project 5: Graphic Narrative. Due Monday, December 6 @12:59PM(Final Project)
The graphic novel has become a popular literary form. A graphic narrative is a story whose events and dialog transpire over a sequence of images. Graphic narratives have traditionally been drawn in a variety of mediums and computer- generated stories have emerged on the scene in the past twenty years. Formerly called a "comic strip", a graphic narrative starts with a manuscript and is translated by the artist into a series of rough marker or pencil drawings called a storyboard. If there is dialog or text it can appear at the top or bottom margin or expressed in word and thought balloons.
Create a graphic narrative based on an event or events in your life. Draw a series of thumbnails to create a storyboard that shows the sequence and layout of each frame and the total story. Execute the entire story in Illustrator in your own unique style in at least eight frames with a title block. Include a perspective drawing somewhere in the narrative.
Specifications:
Configure the story on one11”x17” page, or 2 8.5”x11” pages with 4 frames on each page. Don't forget a title block Black and White or Color. CMYK.
Tips:
• Research other graphic narratives and comic strips to get a feel for how other artists have achieved dynamic composition.
• Draw a storyboard in pencil or marker to organize the story into a sequence of at least eight images.
• Keep your work organized in layers and sub-layers.
• Be aware of the visual relationships between frames and how they relate to the gestalt of each page. The images should flow together logically and aesthetically.
