Start A Story

By Mark Kaufman

A while back I was asked to contribute to thye Start a Story project. As described by John Harrison the project founder, "Start a Story is a project that encourages creativity and collaboration. Through different projects I hope to get people involved in creating narratives. I’m interested in seeing how different people can bring their own unique insight, creativity and direction to a story." Basically illustrators from around the world contribute pieces and then another illustrator builds upon that idea, and so on. It is an interesting experiment in sequential design and storytelling and the power of technology to bring people and ideas together from far-flung parts of the world. It was also interesting to see how other folks interpret one of your characters. There are many projects that you can participate in. I am definately going to do some more.
