Narrative Illustration Assignment (Project 3)

Advanced Illustration for Production

Narrative Illustration Project

·      This project will be worth 100pts, and will be done to dimensions of 11X 17 inch Bristol (this project will not require printing, and can be posted on the class blog for delivery.)

·      Now that you have worked on several illustration pieces, you will now work on three further images, all to be done to dimensions of 11X17 Bristol. For these images, you will revisit one of the subjects you’ve covered either in the first or second project produced for this class (you also have the option of choosing one of the concept options not used in your previous projects); you will present the concept as a full narrative, with each sheet representing a beginning, middle, and end to your concept (these can be worked out through key events, iconographical moments, or thematically visualized iconography representing a mood connected to each part of the story.)

·      The illustrations can be either presented vertically or horizontally as to present the story in the best way you see fit. The images can be single images per piece or turned into comic-style panel format if you wish (you will still be expected to produce three separate images; three panels does not represent three pieces) and must have the following criteria met:

-       Color must be included in some way, and the color must be thematic towards the place in the story we are currently at (amount of color and use is up to you.)

-       Layout must indicate some level of transition from beginning of story to end (lead the eye.)

-       No limit to amount of characters included in production… but it must be more than one.

-       And no, your previous pieces from past projects are not part of the three illustrations to be created.

·      Deadline for final illustrations: 12/2/14 (Tuesday; Week Nine). Design layouts, concepts and ideas will be reviewed on Thursday, November 20^th, 2014 (20pts for reviews). There are no limits to the sketches expected, and you may review earlier by posting on the blog. Full Project grade will be worth 100pts. No late or incomplete work will be accepted.
