This document outlines the steps and assignments for a digital graphic narrative development course. It includes exercises in various styles like shape tasks, rotoscoping, film quotes, and text-based work. Students generate initial ideas and create a proposal for their narrative project that outlines the story, format, and production methods. Story development involves writing draft scripts and breaking down the narrative. Additional assignments involve gathering feedback and revising work based on that feedback. The goal is for students to develop a final digital graphic narrative project through iterative creative and writing exercises.
