| Abstract | The development of vast transmedia storyworlds has its own unique kind of beauty—a set of transmedia aesthetics that make such creations easier for audiences to discover, collect, consume and react to in myriad ways. This thesis and its accompanying demo storyworld demonstrate ten of these transmedia aesthetics in action: Multiple Audiences and Leveraged Engagement; Unique Storyworld Characteristics; World-Centric Narrative Design (with a Human Lens at the Center); Resonant Simple-Story Myths; Extensible Character Design; Fractal Storytelling and Extensible Narrative Architecture; Additive Comprehension; Multiple Experience Pathways and Modularity; Medium Specificity and Leveraged Affordances; and Collaborative Authorship, Clear Canon(s) and Multiplicity. Taken together, these transmedia aesthetics help create beautiful storyworlds that can last for decades across multiple platforms—including screens that don’t exist yet – and have a meaningful, lasting impact on the future of popular culture and the real world as well. |
