For my graphic narrative I decided to do a manga. My story was based off two characters. One of my characters was a magical rabbit and one was just a normal girl. The storyline was about the magical rabbit hurting their foot and not being able to transform back into a human. The girl finds the rabbit and nurses it back to health. The girl explains to the rabbit how she is lonely and lives alone. The rabbit then transforms into a human to grant the girl one wish, which is to stay with her. For my graphic narrative I hand drew it and used water colours to colour them in. My graphic narrative is linear as it starts and goes all the way to the end of the story showing the readers what is going to happen at the end.

My manga was aimed at kids and young teenagers so I used bright colours to attract them and had a child friendly storyline. I used a combination of text in the form of speech combined with images to illustrate what is happening. I also used thought bubbles to indicate that that rabbit boy cannot talk whilst he is in the form of a rabbit. The girl is seen in a school uniform to indicate that she is still a school student.

A few things I could have improved was my time management, as I did struggle to keep to deadlines. Another thing I could have improved was adding more backgrounds in my story as some of the panels were quite empty. Also I could have outlined the drawings to create a cleaner effect. The text was also in various different sizes so I think I could have typed the text up instead or use a different layout to make it seem more spacious.
