Graphic Narrative: Initial Ideas


This is the story board that I drew in the first stages of the assignment. Once I'd chosen what song I wanted to use and which artist I would draw inspiration from I started to plan out what my artwork would look like. I made the drawings really basic because I wanted to get my ideas down first to see what they would look like on paper, and once I was happy with them I would start to build upon them. The lyrics that are being described in each scene are just above the boxes. 

On the story board in the picture there are six frames, but once I actually started my final designs I decided to just do five because I didn't really have any solid ideas for the last picture and I didn't want to make a really basic one and have it ruin the rest of the narrative. I have also only used colour in a couple of images in here because I wanted to see whether it would look good or whether I should leave it out in my final design. 

I have also decided not to do lines that follow on from one another, but instead do ones that I think could be easily conveyed in the actual narrative.
