Assignment 3_Development Process (1)

The theme of assignment 3: A lonely Theme
From this assignmentm we have to make use of web and we are supposed to apply Mccloud's Mad Scientists Approach to make use of the web paneling and infinite factor of web.

I really had a brain stuck for this assignments, I tried really hard to come out with storyline that fit into the theme. Well, at the end of the day... you still needs to produce something :X


For the critique session I decided to submit my 1st idea: A lonely Child- relatively metaphorical.

I tried to play with the positong, but it was placed accordingly to the "action" of the girl, instead of trying to make use of it to stress the "feeling" of the story.

These are the few critiques I received:

  • The part when my character is flying, I have to add more people to show that others are having fun with in a group.
  • Its not explicitly showing the girl is feeling lonely and the dad play much attention to her.
  • The arrangement of images can be fine-tune to help embrace the loneliness of the girl when she has to head home.


What I learnt from this assignment is to consider how we can play with the positioning of frames to help stress my story. For example, when she is lonely we can place it in a linear static arrangement and place it upwards to help increase the perception of hope/ anticipation.
Likewise, according to Mccloud, length of scrolling can also help to give readers the sense of time. However, I had not played with the tactics in my assignment draft.
