Portfolio 6: Comic Strip Narrative

COMIC STRIP NARRATIVE

Tell a story in photographs and arrange it in a comic strip like series. Your series will consist of 6 or more descriptive photographs to tell your story (see required length below). Use thought bubbles and narrative description boxes only to clarify your ideas and the actions and thoughts of the characters. Use real people, not dolls or action figures, but you can use inanimate objects as your subject i.e. "the day in the life of an apple." Be descriptive with your imagery - your photos should tell most of the story.

Use the retro comic book effect tutorial to give your photos the "comic book look." Make sure to use the stroke layer to add a border to each photo as well.

Required Length: (does not include your title slide)

1 person group = 5 slides
2 person group = 8 slides
3 person group = 10 slides
4 person group = 12 slides
