idea, (check for spelling,
capitalisation and grammar!). You should aim to include and expand your answer
from the starting point giving you a clear and concise plan for your Graphic
Narrative.
Please answer using the
blog, include images, present creatively. Also ensure that your blog is upto

Artist response, ideas and storyboarding)
What Song lyrics have you selected? Why?
My main song selection
is an indie song called Child by BriBry a small artist mainly known through
Youtube. From this song I have chosen the first verse to use as my graphic
narrative these are the lyrics I have selected :
I’d like to win father
of the
year
From the day you’re
born till when I’m no longer here Your number one from all
I’ll
take to your first ever school play
If your villager 6 and you have no lines to say
Well
I’ll still be in the front row, filming for the upload
Of your big day
I have chosen this song
for many reasons including its emotional values as it is easy to empathise.
The story that is told throughout the song is deeply emotional and has a
clear outlook. The story tells us of his need to be the best father as
possible this could very easily be portraited through photos.

What format will your Graphic Narrative take? (Comic,
children book, illustration etc…)
My graphic novel will
be a mixture of photographic imput and
hand drawn illustration. This will come in the from of hand drawn backgrounds that include a simplistic look such as it just being a photo frame and a single object. I will use older family photos for the photographic element this photos feature my older brother growing I choose these specifically as they suit the lyrics as each element slips into place. |
How will you change your script to make it more
modern, historical or futuristic twist to your script, illustrating a
mood/style or intended target audience?
I will not change the script to make it more modern or futuristic instead I will keep the charters within the 21st century will older elements shown in a flashback manor shown through the photographs. This is bringing an another element to the script but is not straying from the main subject. The house in which these photos are being displayed are within the here and now.
The intended target audience will be people that have just started being fathers themselves . This has been done mainly for the audience due to the clear references in the son. This will set the mood as emotial and empathetic this will make the characters in the narrative seem realistic espeacially as the photos are. |
What designers or illustrators do you feel will
influence and inspire the style you are working toward and why?
I have struggled to find an artist that has a similair style to which I have choosen although I researched various comic artists such as Marjane Satrapi and Chris Riddell. Both individual elements that were inspirational such as the illistration style that Riddell uses and the bold black and white that Satrapi uses. I think that the style that I want to do is unique as a mixes handrawn images with the colour and realistic view of photography. This is how I want my graphic design project to be completed using the hand drawn influences but also with its own unique style.
Which techniques and materials do you hope to use?
List and include source i.e. collage, photographic, typography, drawings,
diagrams etc…
I hope to use a mixture of photography and handrawn designs to place the photos within a house setting with connected objects. I will use photographs taken from my brothers childhood showing him through the various stages of his life. These photographs will be drawn into the same frame at different locations in the graphic narratives voice.
