Graphically abstracting the forms:

Exercise:
- Make a storyboard of five visuals (like comic strips) of your chosen story.
- Each frame represents a specific event, which document five continuous points in time (diachronic). In this exercise, you’ll try to depict these visuals in abstract form.
- Abstract, graphicalise and simplify the forms or shapes of the elements in your visual (both the characters and the background environment) so as to represent a higher level of order.
- The visuals should make use of forms, textures, colours to express your story.
   
• Visual Communication Students:
  - Task is to make a book of dimension 21cm x 21cm with 5 open page spreads of dimension 21cm x 42cm.
  - You should represent your original story of 5 key frames as abstractions on the right half of book.
  - Express your story using appropriate typeface on the left side of your book.
  - Do a cover and then print and bind the book.

• Animation Design Students:
  - Task is to make a Stop Motion presentation of your story.
  - You should represent your original story of 5 key frames as animated abstractions making use of cut-outs.
  - Use audio to narrate your story. You need to submit this as a movie file.

• Interaction Design Students:
  - Task is to make an interactive presentation of your story.
  - You should represent your original story of 5 key frames as abstractions with interactive features. Either use online text or audio to narrate your story.
  - You can make use of flash or any other similar program to execute the exercise.
