Project 3 will be based around creating a graphic narrative. Graphic narratives are a very popular form of media, best known in formats such as graphic novels, comic books, comic strips etc. The initial phase of this project is the ideas phase, where I will be researching existing examples of the medium and mixing these with my own ideas, to formulate a basis of what I will create for this project.
I am interested in creating a web based project, in a classic comic book style using panels, speech bubbles and big artwork. I think that hosting my project on a website speaks to my web design skill set, and offers my content out to a wide audience in a familiar format. One such website that sticks out as something similar to what I aim to create is The Wormworld Saga, a digital graphic novel by Daniel Lieske.
The basis for the story is a modern take on Sweeney Todd, whereby a burger van owner goes on a murder spree to supply his meat. I think that this represents a lot of opportunity for some interesting characters, and for some dark comedic elements to seep into the writing. The art style is going to be pixel art based, and I am going to use some of the spatial storytelling techniques from the last project when designing my environments.
