Pick a few squares that look interesting or familiar. Search for them here: [link] Warning: you will probably not emerge for several days.

This was my final project for my Visual Design 1 class. During critique, a student suggested this could be made into a dart-board game, but Hollywood could never be allowed to play. (TVTropes has a similar idea, but without the darts. [link])

Edit: Holy boop! Thanks for the Daily Deviation, guys! Feel free to check out my gallery. I'm in my second semester in art school, so you can expect yet cooler things in the future. Thanks for stopping by, everyone! :ahoy: Enjoy the Table!

Edit: A print is now available! Grab a cool poster and support TVTropes and a budding artist in one easy step. Details are through the green button. Also, a few people requested that the elements in the story molecules at the bottom receive color-coding, which is now in place.

Daily Deviation

Given 2011-04-07
Periodic Table of Storytelling by *ComputerSherpa "is an incredibly clever use of the old fashion periodic table but put in a way that storytelling enthusiasts can relate to and understand. There’s a science to creativity after all." (Suggester's words)

Also suggested by =Jeysie:
"Kind of an unusual pick, admittedly, but one with an entertaining concept. It rearranges the "Tropes of Legend" from the TV Tropes Wiki that covers many patterns of storytelling, into an informative and quirky outline. The little "story molecule" examples at the bottom that put the symbols into practice are just fun little icing on the cake."

I was in awe of this. One of my favorite things to do on the internet is Roleplay and often plot development starts with trying to combine things we all know but in a new interesting way. You've made something here that i ADORE. I cant find an issue with it other than some of the colors are a little too close to each other and it can get confusing in that nature. I would also look into the abbreviations and see if there's anything you could change there to make it easier to read. my friend and i have already found it useful and i hope you continue to make more.
What do you think?

You know you have a winner when you spend more time looking at something than you intended to.

Although very tongue-in-cheek and humor-oriented, this piece does indeed breakdown the many elements in storytelling, both modern and ancient, and most likely future too.

Although others have tried to do similar things before, this is the first time that I have seen anything so... elegant, so organized, and so potentially useful.

The fact that it looks very much like the periodic table of elements is a testament to technique and skill.

You sir, probably spend too much time entertaining yourself with fiction. And for that we are all grateful. Have some LOLs on the house!

Amazing work. Someone found you and posted a link on Scribophile dot com. It became so popular that it got its own Forum Post. :) Good Job!

I love this. Seriously considering attaching a copy to some sheet metal so that I can throw magnetic darts at it. xD

I am in a college class right now, and my professor is showing this to us. We are about to spend all class going over it. This is so very amazing.
