Week 4 Lab: Twine Story Software

Layout of a branching narrative: Image

After getting a bit more familiar with Twine through the first and second Tech Tips over the software, I think that I definitely want to use this software for my storybook project this semester. It's simple to use, allows for much greater options when telling a story, and seems to be a great way to brush up on my admittedly rusty HTML skills. 

I have always been a fan of "choose your own adventure" stories and other forms of branching narratives, and I've never really had the opportunity to create a narrative like this for a class throughout my time in college. The prospect of having free reign to make a story like this is very exciting, and I plan to make full use of this technology to create a story unlike anything I've ever made before.

    Hi Brett!

    I am going to be using Twine in my storybook project as well! I loved twine and just like you, I am a sucker for "choose your own adventure" stories. Once I have a story posted, I would love for you to give some feedback! I think you will really enjoy the last story I am planning as it is based on being a judge in the underworld. That will be my most complex story and will probably need the most feedback! Anyway, best of luck using twine and I'll be looking out for your project!

Introduction to Brett the Graphic Designer

Hey! My name is Brett Drake and I'm a senior Public Relations major with a Classical Culture minor. I'm from the small town of Wagoner, Oklahoma (if you've heard of it, chances are you're also from northeast OK!) and while I've enjoyed my time here at OU, I can't wait to graduate in May. I want to become a graphic designer in the OKC area after graduation and help local businesses build their brands. My favorite class last semester was Digital Design (surprise, surprise) as it allowed me to really hone my skills as a designer across all different types of media. Me at the Coliseum : Photo by a friend Last summer, as I talked about in my favorite place post , I was able to study abroad in Italy for the month of June, allowing me to finally travel outside of the country for the first time in my life. While traveling abroad had its ups and downs (I arrived in Rome running on a good 3 hours of sleep and had lost my luggage), overall it was an amazing experie

Week 6 Storylab: Horror Microfictions

The face had different eyes:   Image Mirror- 6 words My reflection was smiling. I wasn't. Stars   - 25 words Growing up, I always loved the stars. Now that I'm among them, my love is gone. No one told me they had eyes. Call ended . Authors Note- For both of these stories, I used the theme of sight. The idea was to write two stories about seeing something, and not liking what you saw. I have always enjoyed writing horror, and I find that many people have a strange fascination with scary stories (after all, 5 of the top 20 podcasts on Spotify are true crime podcasts about murder). I really wanted to challenge myself to write something that could unsettle the reader in as few words as possible. I also like sci-fi a lot, which served as an influence for the second story. I hope you enjoyed them! Let me know of any criticisms or suggestions for other stories you may have, as I would like to do this again!
