This document contains evaluations of various digital graphic narrative development exercises completed by Ethan Andrews, including creating images using shapes, rotoscoping, text overlays, and the comic book style. For the shape and rotoscope exercises, Ethan notes wanting to try more complex subjects. In comic book style, Ethan likes the simplified realistic style for a children's book but wants to try more abstract versions. Proposals are made for an idea, with strengths being mood boards and outlines, while areas needing work are dimensions and production methods. Feedback is provided on idea generation and proposals. Storyboards and original/final scripts are also included.

2. Shape Task

3. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I liked the fact that it allowed me to create a
animated picture easily and quickly from a complex
replica.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I think I would go for something a little more
complex because while I did not have the same
level of detail as the original picture, these
animations don’t contain as much of that detail, so
instead, I would like an animal that has a pattern on
it so that it is more challenging.

4. Shape Task

5. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
This shape task while just as basic as the last one
had much more precision. There were less gaps
between different colours and the angles had all
changed.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would like try a insect or a less rounded
animal/creature because it will be more challenging
and cause new skills to be brought up.

6. Rotoscope

7. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like how everything is more precise than using
shapes and using the colour range tool it opened up
more possibilities for detail and design of the
character itself.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would like to do a person who has more shading
or colour differential so that I can use it to have a
even more detailed person/character.

8. Rotoscope

9. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I liked the high level of detail that I could
replicate both with things like the shading of his
suit shirt tie and face but also with doing minute
details like the eyelashes.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would like to have a background with the
person as well.

10. Text Based

11. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the overlays and changes that can be taken
away or applied to an image or in this case a
word.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would like to try a different font to see if any
other techniques work better with different
fonts.

20. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I really like the style that this has presented because
it ca make a very realistic detailed picture a lot
more basic or comic book like, which is exactly what
I want for my Child’s book.
What would you improve if you did it again?
All of my comic book style images are fairly detailed
it would be nice to try having a more basic and
abstract version.
