As you're reading your graphic novel of choice, please pay attention to both the layout and the style (as we've discussed in class.) For this assignment (due Friday) please discuss on your blog the following topics:
- What is the basic layout of your graphic novel? Does it follow the rule of thirds? If so, what pattern can you discern in the way the pages are laid out? More importantly, why is this pattern formed? How is your reading changed, drawn in, or different than it would be if you were reading a more traditional book (or likewise if a different format was used).
- What type of drawing style is used and for what purpose? Are the colors bright, muted, do they change based on plot line and/or character motivation? In essence, what can you glean from the colors and drawing techniques used and how does this change/direct your reading of the actual words?
