Summary: | Walking Like Trees was a year-long exploration of storytelling through the juxtaposition of text and image within the medium of the printed graphic novel. An amalgamation of analog and digital approaches was employed in the creation of artwork while design principles were applied in the formulation of paneling layouts and story flow. Visual and narrative inspiration were drawn from a combination of personal experience with a range of external references both theoretical and creative, giving rise to a story centered on themes of isolation, disillusionment, family and hope. This project targets people who enjoy such narrative-driven art.
