Collaborative Narrative

Carnegie Mellon University
School of Design
Type + Image Study


Thank you for your participation and interest. To begin, navigate through the type or image paths, accessible via the links on the main page, until you find a piece you'd like to download. Click on the image. It will appear in your browser window. Simply drag it to your desktop and begin creating. Please do not alter the dimensions of the file. Please save your work as a .jpg before emailing it to me. To ensure correct placement in the narrative, do not change the file name. Please send me your comments and/or questions by clicking the email link on the main page.

Keep in mind, any of the text- and image-based files may be downloaded and manipulated, enabling the narrative to diverge into multiple paths. However, for this to function as a narrative, participants are not permitted to erase preceding components. In other words, it is crucial that your contribution to the narrative only include ADDITIONS. Nothing may be DELETED from the file that is being manipulated.

The more pieces submitted, the more interesting and diverse the narratives will be. Therefore, I encourage you to revisit the site often and participate. Don't forget to see how your work is interpreted by others!
