Sources of Inspiration, Part 2
Another source of inspiration I’ve spottet a while ago is a comic by Scott McCloud: Understanding Comics — The Invisible Art. It’s a fairly famous piece of work and it’s not an ordinary comic at all. It is a comic about comics.
Scott McCloud explains inner workings and phenomena of the comic art form and proves his explanations by applying them at the same time. During his explanations he delves into the topics of psychology, art history and effects used by comics, for example immersion, iconography and closure.
A very interesting and inspiring read which I already recommended some of my friends. Most of the concepts presented in this book are also applicable outside of the domain of comics.
