Creations turned in after the deadline time will not be considered for the challenge. You are free to use your paper of choice and include any colors. You can create your storyboard boxes using whatever shape, you don't have to stick to the traditional rectangle shape. Feel free to experiment and let me know in which order the story goes.

Again, if you have any questions please email me and I will be more than happy to get you on track. Examples for the story boards are within the images on this page.
