Abstract [en]
In this report I present my MA exam work ”Nattbarn” and my process from idea to finished book. I evaluate my working method and my process, and explain my intentions and the background to the story. In the end I summarize with a reflection on the final result.”Nattbarn is a graphic novel about being in an awkward age, exploring sexuality, and longing for independence. It’s a story about Ingrid, 14 years old, who prefers to be in her room, alone with her computer. Under the alias “Nattbarn” (Night Child) she hangs out on different forums, when she’s not busy googling genitals. It’s her escape from a murderously boring teenage existence and a mother who has just got together with the annoying Bosse, who tries hard without success to be likeable and fun.When Ingrid starts eighth grade, she discovers that the school photographer shares her interest in hard rock, and a secret friendship begins via the internet. One Friday when her mother is with her boyfriend, Ingrid decides to seize the opportunity – she meets up with the photographer...”This report contains both text and visual documentation.
