This document contains evaluations from a student of various digital graphic narrative development exercises they completed. For a shape task, the student liked the outline and proportions but would have added a background. On a rotoscoped image, the student liked adding a background and face details but wants to improve colors and textures. For text-based images, the student likes using different techniques but wants to improve colors, spacing, and adding depth. Feedback is provided on idea generation, proposals, storyboards, and scripts for a comic book project.

2. Shape Task

3. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I liked the main outline and shape of the image and thought I had adjusted
the different parts to fit the overall body well so they were all in the correct
proportion. I also like how the different colours give a more natural and
realistic feel to the image.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I think I could improve on the image by adding a background to it in order to
make the animal stand out more and make the image look more interesting.
Another way I could achieve this would have be to add an overall shadow to
the animal to give some depth and would have also made it stand out more.

4. Rotoscope

5. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like that this time I have added in a background but not just made it a block
colour but added in some extras to make it look more realistic and also the
detailing on the face.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I think I could improve on the face more to make it look more realistic by
adding in texture on the face and focussing more on the mouth to get more
detail there too. I would also improve on the colours and add some gradients
instead of each parts being a block colour.

6. Text Based

7. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the fact that none of the images are the same and that I have used a different
technique on all of them to see what looks good and what I need to work on and
change to achieve an image that shows its full potential. I like how I have incorporated
a picture into the text to add diversity into my images and how I have outlined each
letter in some of the texts to highlight each part of the words and how I have adjusted
the shapes or the texts to make them interesting to look at but have still kept all the
images legible. By not just using my name and experimenting with a quote is also
something that adds diversity and how I have tried using different shadows and
textures in the writing are also things I like about that image.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Things I would improve on, on my images would be by making them more different in
terms of not only the technique used but also the colours instead of just a plain black.
I also think I need to improve the image with the camera in the background as it is
hard to tell what it is due to the spacing of the text. Next time I will add some depth to
the text by applying shadows to the words to make them bolder and so they’ll stand
out more. I would also like to improve on my images by adding more texts with a
picture incorporated into them and try different words, pictures, colour and
techniques of how to make them stand out more.
