INDS B.A.: Narrative Design
Spring 2026 Capstone
My INDS Degree
My INDS degree plan draws from creative writing, and visual arts such as animation, drawing and sculptures. With my degree, I want to create comic books professionally. Scott McCloud– a cartoonist, and comics theorist talks about understanding comics, Writes in his book “Understanding Comics: “The power of comics lies in their simplicity. They can communicate complex ideas through simple images and words.” For me, this involves writing the story, including storyboarding and designing characters.
