Graphic Storytelling - The Practice of Karl Andy Foster

My methods of creating narrative structures for graphic outcomes

1. Inspiration

What do you want to say?

Why do you have to use narrative to say it?

What sources are you going to use to help you express these ideas?


2. First Phase development

The initial script (written or image based or both)


3. Second Phase development

Revision and reality check time for the script


4. Using Graphic Design

What materials am I using to make the outcome?

What format is the outcome going to be in?


5. Realization

Making the damned outcome (working to a Deadline)


6. Reflection

Testing the outcome with audiences

Using feedback to assist in the production of the next story
