Storyboarding

    Creating the storyboard was a very interesting experience, it involved a lot more spatial thinking than I had previously thought. One of the more challenging aspects of the process was deciding how long the articles would be, and how to break them up so that I wouldn’t lose the readers’ attention. One of the more enjoyable elements of the assignment was deciding on the colors, font, and other visual components. This was enjoyable because it really showed me how little things like that can affect the general tone and mood of the article and magazine even though they are not part of the actual content. The two articles were also very helpful: the first one because, although it was talking about films, it had a list of questions towards the bottom of the article that helped with refining my idea, and the second article because it caught my interest by explaining the history of storyboards and then explaining how to create one. After doing my storyboard, my concept has changed to be more focused on highlighting individual people and news events, more focused than previously.
