Final Story - second draft:
This draft at the moment is a bit too thorough, in writing it I did forget the intended audience, so I want to simplify it and make it more of a visual feat. The bones are there, and I think adding in speech bubbles will be something that I will complete in retrospect.
- For now this story line allows me to build my comic as I am narrowing down what each page will look like. The narration definitely needs some refining so that it works better with a younger audience.
- Whilst I continue to narrow down my final story this template will allow me to begin to work out how many pages I am making and what will be on each one.
Each page can have a fact section and a storyline section
Front cover?
