Comics are built to tell stories, and stories are told to represent abstract ideas and concept, convey histories and backgrounds, and to show examples of idealised characters or behaviours. This project seeks to find subjects the students are already familiar with (architecture, design, culture, buildings) and frame a short narrative to communicate their idea through the medium of comics. This includes designing backdrops, characters, storylines and layouts, within the limitations of an 8 page black and white comic medium. Design elements should complement the story adaptation, and the concept should be packaged and presented professionally. The Objective id to identify elements of narrative in a story and replicate it for a new setting. Next is to assemble a simple pitch package comprising of story, characters and setting design elements
