The visual linguistics of a comic book page

Inside Science recently wrote about the study by UCSD’s Neil Cohn, Navigating Comics, which looks at the underlying structure of the comics language:

People who read the English written word scan text from left to right. Once our eyes hit the end of the page, we stop. Then ding!, like an old-time typewriter, our eyes shift downward and snap back to the left to start reading the next line. This is known as a “Z-path,” as our eyes whip about like the end of Zorro’s sword.

But that linear track gets derailed in comics with complex layouts and Cohn wanted to know if experienced readers had strategies to follow along.

Cohn rustled up 145 participants at the 2004 Comic-Con International, a comic book convention held in San Diego. Participants had varying experience with reading comics, ranging from “never” to “often.”

Each participant was given a booklet containing 12 pages of blank panels. Each page was independent of the rest and used different design techniques.

I met Neil Cohn outside of the old Comic Relief; Rory Root introduced us. Neil had literally just come from getting his monograph EARLY WRITINGS ON VISUAL LANGUAGE back from the printer. He gave Rory and I a copy each — we spoke on the street for a few minutes and I walked away with a head full of stars. That book, along with Ben Saunders’, Charles Hatfield’s Kirby book, and a few others I’m sure I could think up if I paused to stop typing long enough, are must have, must read, must learns if you’re a comics-obsessed, form-and-function-obsessed, process-obsessed maniac like me. That he’s continued to explore the way we read comics — and writes about it on his blog — delights me to no end. He has no reason to remember the meeting, but it was one of those chance street encounters that changed my life.

Thanks, Neil. And, once again — thanks, Rory.

lestarks:

You guys probably are already aware of what it is happening on Brazil right now. Basically, a fever of manifestation are going on or are scheduled to happen. Brazil is waking up of some sort of sleep or blind time it had towards bad education, healthy treatment, transportation and, especially, bad politicians. It all started out of a raise in the bus price, something like 0,10 cents, in the most important or one of the most important cities in the world: São Paulo. It started like that (even though other cities had had some manifestation before) but it took bigger proportions after the incredibly violent reaction from the police. The manifestation of the last Thursday had more than 10k people (according to Wikipedia). Another manifestation is scheduled to tomorrow and by now has more than 200k people confirmed.

Brazil wasn’t ready to a World Cup or a Olympics. People are done of taking shit of the government. People are done looking down and accept the obviously dictatorship in disguise of democracy. People are done. We are done. I’m done. This is just the beginning. And now, more than ever, I’m proud of being brazilian.

PS.: This video is not mine. Ironically, it is the official song of World Cup 2014. The song lyrics are inviting people to come out the streets to celebrate. Well, people are doing that.

Brazil is protesting against corruption, police brutality, for better schools, hopitals and public transportation, for the media show the truth and not to repress protests. Who can not go to the streets can help supporting the moviment, sharing in social networking. The protest that started with some people in one city now is in the whole country with thousands of people. Right now the protesters are in the capital in front of the National Congress of Brazil, the legislative body of Brazil’s federal government.

Steve Marmel's Season 3 for DP?!

icyblueghostsense:

haikujitsu:

FireFury apparently got some of his ideas; though she may have been an exception at the time - she was hosting a DP Third Season Fan Project using Marmel’s version with his permission

What is this and how could one go about resurrecting it?

(Edit: Forum post is here and FireFury’s home site has been dead since 2008 unfortunately…so dunno what the status is with this.)

Checking out his fb page, Marmel is definitely an active liberal. This is making me even more curious as to what he had in mind for season 3 and how far he would’ve gone with it (political undertones and such). Even just a synopsis would suffice. Such a shame that he was let go.

Whyyy??…so…much…potential…ahhhh!!

Ugh, I hate it when you’re trying to write a chapter but the only thing you have inspiration for is a scene that won’t happen until about 4 chapters later.

I always seems to come up with a great idea for a story and a scene pops in my head and I write it down and get going and then I lose steam and I admire my work and realize. HOW THE FUCK AM i SUPPOSE TO GET THE BEGINNING TO THIS POINT? WHAT IS AN ENDING?!
