Project choice

I have chosen this brief as there are several interesting aspects within it, the main character sounds as though he was flamboyant and full of life being a great storyteller. The time period of his life gives an opportunity to research the people of that time, their clothes, methods of travel, the diversity of society in that period. This project is also very open towards style and how the final piece may be delivered. Creating illustrations that may be animated or require to be interacted with is something I have not done before but am greatly interested in. The addition of using music or sound affects to bring the story more to life is also an interesting aspect of the project, one which I look forward to as this should enhance the experience of the user of the interactive comic as a whole.

Concept 2: Baron Von Munchausen 

Interactive Comic

History has had its fair share of colourful characters, but few as colourful as history’s greatest ‘teller of tall tales’. Your client wishes to exploit the interactive graphic novel medium to develop a new I.P. based on the eponymous Baron Von Munchausen.

The client would like for you to develop a stylish graphic style and implement it into a short sample interactive novel in which the navigator can peruse through a scene from the life of Baron Munchausen.
