I’m working with Manchester Museum at the moment, making a fold out comic with two stories relating to the museum’s collection.

Students from Cedar Mount Academy spent the day looking at the collection and thinking about how to create two stories for the comic.

We were working with a five point story plan:

1. Inciting incident
2. challenge
3. crisis
4. climax
5. resolution

Not easy top do over 3 A6 panels, but I think I succeeded in compressing the story we camera up with on the day.

Manchester museum is just wonderful. It’s kind of old-fashioned, but totally up to date and wonderfully cared for – all the exhibits are fresh and squeaky and shown in exciting and novel ways. Do visit if you are in manchester or have a look at their website http://www.museum.manchester.ac.uk

Thanks to the students of Cedar Mount Academy for helping us come up with the great story ideas. http://www.cedarmount.manchester.sch.uk
