Introduction:
Chloe and I had the idea of creating a comic with a storyline which follows each of our lives up until the point where we first met in NYUSH Communication Lab. We discussed that we want to create a timeline where when the user clicks on a specific period of time they will be directed to a split screen that will show what both Chloe and I were doing at that time. More details regarding what we imagine our project will look like can be found in the text below.
Storyboard:
- We illustrate a timeline of both our lives leading up to the point where we meet in NYU Shanghai, the extraneous circumstances that lead us to be where we are today.
- We decided to tell the story by using a split screen that will allow the user to see what the both of us were doing at a specific point in time.
- Allow the user to click on certain objects in the panel that will pop up allowing the reader to learn more
Illustrations:
- We aren’t exactly sure how we were going to go about illustrating the comics, but I think that we will use our knowledge of photoshop to put together a comic.
- We will also draw upon outside resources to find images to support our comic.
Java:
- We are using Javascript to move the story along, there will be a fixed timeline at the bottom of the comic and the readers will be able to drag an icon along the timeline in order to advance the story.
- The timeline will illustrate the year
- The icon that is dragged across the screen will be a small airplane.
