COMD-511 Sequential Art and the Graphic Novel

2 Credits

This course emphasizes visual storytelling in all its complexities – from the psychological reasoning behind the arrangement of panels to mold time to the pacing, camera angles, balloon placement, composition dynamics, and lettering that make a story come alive. In addition to the traditional forms of print-based sequential illustration, this course also provides an excellent foundation for the creative process in video animation and computer interactive multi-media productions.
