GNED: Game Narrative Environment Design

GNED is a class that focuses on the process to create an environment concept through a narrative and gameplay lens.  The process we will discover is understanding how to apply a theme, create points of interest and a ‘how to get there’ journey.  We will also be applying techniques in color, tone and lighting to push narrative elements and use design, shapes and language to push functionality and gameplay.

This class will execute in line drawing, schematics, and paintings.
