Prerequisite: 9.0 credits, including all first-year requirements (5.0 credits)
Storytelling, through the medium of comics and graphic novels, is explored in this course. Employing principles of narrative structure as a framework, original stories integrating text and image are created in sequential panel formats. Graphic components including preliminary sketches, page layout, penciling, inking, and title design are developed in conjunction with plotline and dialogue, requiring students to function as both illustrator and author. As a means to inform and contextualize their own work, students research historical and contemporary examples.
