My Final Project--finis!

Dec 8 2009

My final project took the form of a CYOA, using just pictures to convey the story. The only text is the choices, which are simplistic. The drawings are simplistic and in comic form. My intention was to strip the narrative down to the bare essentials, to see if the reader can convey the basic story from the simplest images. Personally for me, it's sometimes hard to discern what's going on in a comic book with all the extraneous glitzy artistry, so by conveying the most simplistic image possible, hopefully the story speaks for itself.

I also tried to make the choices as true to the consequences as possible. Without giving too much away, I only put 2 arbitrary or unrealistic paths. Due to the nature of the story it should be somewhat obvious what path you should take. I won't give away the basic premis of the story, because I want a fresh reaction when I present on Thursday. Be on the look out for recurring "motifs", I'll ask if anyone notices any and what you think they mean.

I employed a few film shots in my strip, to focus on both the psychology of the character and to stress the course of the story. Simply put, the close ups and over the shoulder pictures will give you insight into the character's choices and how "he" views himself and his task. But, all this will be presented in full on Thursday.
