This course explores visual narrative over sequences of images as used in time-based media, interactive media, and graphic novels. Students will become familiar with the disciplines that use sequential art, as well as the tools necessary for composition, panel design, and visual translation of written scripts. We will study time-based media in both linear and nonlinear modes, as well as composition and the visual arc of panels on physical pages and screens. Students will work through a professional workflow that includes initial concept, thumbnail development, visual milestones particular to the intended output, peer critique, revision, and successful completion.
