Whilst on this course, I have explored and learnt about many personal interactions within the digital world and how they help to create interesting narratives and how the art of persuasion draws in audiences. With these skills I’ll be able to take forward in the future on my course. I have developed skills which enable me to produce innovative designs using a range of digital media sites to fashion interactive narratives, posters, reinventing narratives and developing narratives through transmedia.

This time round it was a little more challenging due to the increase of characters and their role within...
