Careful selection of graphical design can push the narrative strength of graphical projects by adjusting the visual statements to the content-wise statements.
While many projects of computer science lack of consequent implementation of artistic principles, graphic designers tend to neglect user interaction and evaluation. In a recent project we therefore started a successful approach to combine both sides. In future work we plan to research on further integration of visual narration into interactive storytelling.
