Visual Narrative - Tell an untold story - Final sketch

Final sketch:

  • I'd decided on the dimensions 110mm x 160mm for each page. Meaning the whole page would be 1320mm x 160mm. I wanted to work with the exact size my book would be so I can figure out how everything will fit together smoothly.
  • I had a thought that colouring my final design with paint pens when scanned won't look as vibrant. I thought it would get better result in my final print if I coloured the book digitally.
  • I wanted to get my design outlined in a bold black pen and scanned in so I could work on it with Photoshop asap.
  • I did one sketch that looked almost how I wanted it to but I just didn't feel the layout was quite right. I wanted the character to flow through nicely have a clear path where he walks.

  • I did a second improved sketch that I was happy with, it was spacious in the path of the character and I had fences and barriers leading you on the way he walks, making it easily readable.
  • Whilst sketching these designs I decided to have the rollercoaster weaving through the buildings and towers and leaving the page in the centre (where he bumps into security), this gives a nice balance to scene and intertwines all the buildings together.
  • I put the security guards on the horizon in the distance as well as up close, this helps to suggest they are approaching him before he sees them.




  • Getting my design as one long piece on screen will be difficult. I will have to connect it up perfectly on photoshop. I scanned it in four different sections ready to be edited on photoshop.
  • I decided to add the trees and floor texture digitally so I could mess around with the layout.
  • I figured that because my book was being digitally I might get a cleaner and bolder outcome if edited digitally.
