Chapter eight how we did it!
eriora and the Agents of Destruction Chapter eight how we did it! Deteriora The living Graphic Novel 'deteriora and the agents of destruction' was created through a collaboration among the Indiana Historical Society Local History Services, Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette, and Purdue University Galleries. First, we met to plan the concept, the issues of collections care to be addressed... and assign them each a villainous persona!! second, we photographed staged scenes in and around the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center facility! must have charts... ok, so there was a little fun involved.. Third, we used the photos to assemble comic-style pages, complete with panels, captions and speech bubbles! now hop to it!! a little photoshop goes a long way... + =
