NMD 343 Design through storytelling
We will review basic storytelling skills like character design, plot construction, settings choices, moral arguments, and symbols, metaphors, and visual cues and apply them to digital tools and content. Using a variety of tools, you will practice telling rich media stories—using simple to complex formats from social media graphics to web stories, from documentary video to animation. This class is a great pair with other skill classes like animation, unity game design, or video production, and you may use elements from each class to craft strong stories.
