IP4 - Illustrated Story

Our next illustration class project is to illustrate a multiple-page story or narrative of your choice. The objective of the assignment is to visually communicate a message over six pages. The size of the pages will be approximately 6x9 and the print format will be an accordion fold book.

The first step in the project is to choose a story, a set of instructions, a nursery rhyme (maybe a poem or song) — in short, a narrative — you are interested in. The text should not constitute more than twelve words or two sentences per page, for a total of 72 words or 12 sentences.

Post the text on your blog no later than the end of class, Thursday, March 22nd.

The second step is to research the project—write a project brief, and create an image board, and envision the illustrated story through a series of quick sketches on a six-page format.

This is due on your blog the beginning of class, Tuesday, March 27th.
