About the final project for: Capturing Stories in Fantasy Comics

Capturing stories in fantasy comics

“Closing the course of the course, your final project is, at the same time, your work process and the step-by-step registration of the creative challenge of starting from an idea and turning it into words and images that tell a story.

There are no limits other than imagination and the desire. ”
