This course explores the graphic narrative through the digital medium. Students explore the literary, architectural, interactive, and design elements of graphic narratives by reading and engaging novels, memoirs, and narrative games written from the 1970s to the present. In order to create effective graphic narrative texts, students critique several germinal graphic works and then apply their knowledge of this visual medium to their own narratives. The class will design original graphic works in various software platforms (Google Earth, Comic Life, InDesign, Pixton, Comic Maker) using both literary and design frameworks. Units include: memoir, graphic medicine, digital/online comics, and interactive narrative games. Through close textual analysis, peer critique, and iterative thinking/practice, students learn to create digital projects that use image/text to tell stories and analyze literature. Projects may include: digital theory comix, graphic essays, graphic narrative maps in Google Earth, and video essays. Course texts may include works by Alison Bechdel, Miriam Libicki, Scott McCloud, Nam Le, Chinese Room, The Fulbright Company, Simogo, and11 Bit Studio.
