Storyboard

A Visual Timeline

A storyboard is a visual timeline of your narrative to use as a reference for your project.

Graphic novels/comics are great examples because they have:

• Strong emphasis on visuals to help tell the story

• Small snippets of dialogue to engage and inform due to similar limitations to game design

• A simple flow of events done in panels
