Narrative Illustration focuses on illustration as visual text and discourse, and investigates the constituents, role and potential for visual narrative, design and communication through sequencing of images. This course will look closely at the key components which make up both individual imagery, including composition, framing, values, colour and lighting, to the combinations of imagery as sequences, including timing, pacing, and décalage. We will draw upon wider visual arts, creative writing, cinematic and music techniques to analyse and understand how sequences of images can impact viewers. We will additionally be critically discussing and studying sequential visual communication from different cultures and time periods.
Research and explore through investigation and risk taking the creative and communicative potential and possibilities of a range of approaches to visual sequencing.Develop and implement an individual approach to sequential visual communication which demonstrates an understanding of pace, rhythm and form.Critically analyse principles, outcomes and approaches of creative and effective communication through sequential imagery which result in coherent visual identities.Propose, negotiate and independently pursue personal project themes.Engage with the module to a professional level, committing the required amount of hours to the development of the body of work required, attending class, responding to feedback and contributing to studio sessions and workshops.
