Pretty in Ink (5)

  For this week’s assignment I decided to read Pretty in Ink. After reading this book, I came to the conclusion that this book is a masterpiece! This book really snaps everything into perspective, and it also covers things that weren’t really discussed in other classes! Even though this is just an overview, I felt like this was both educational and inspiring on so many levels! While reading this, I found myself writing things I wanted to research and reference! Throughout this book we see women rising and become a powerhouse for the future and comics. We also see women in comics break away from the typical “damsel in distress” stereotype. One thing that really stood out to me was the unique illustrations. To be honest, I absolutely loved them! With some of the comics we’ve read throughout the semester, some of the women don't really look like women. They don't have any character when it comes to design. They all look like they came out of a cookie cutter. I also think most of t...

The Perry Bible Fellowship Almanack (5)

  For this week’s assignment I read The Perry Bible Fellowship Almanack, by Nicholas Gurewitch. I really enjoyed this comic almanack! To be honest, I had low expectations starting this. To summarize this, these comics cover everything from A to Z. One thing I really like about this was the dark humor. I felt like this book is quite relatable when it came to humor. I wish some of these comic strips were expanded upon! There is so much potential with these characters. Even though some characters were reused, I felt cheated. Overall I really like the layout and type of the book. I also like  the front and back cover design! I feel like this was completely different from the art in the comic strips. I really like the unique art styles used in each comic strip. There’s just something about the simplistic “Keith haring style” used. The only thing I was questioning was the color palettes used in each strip. Some were good and others just didn’t really make any sense. While reading th...

The Arrival By Shaun Tan (3)

I absolutely loved The Arrival by Shaun Tan. After reading this comic book I found myself speechless. Since this is my first time reading a comic without words, it was a mesmerizing experience! Both the art style and page layout really helped support the concept of immigration. This work really showed the emotions that immigrants go through during the whole process. Most importantly, It also shows what the people went through before they moved. I'm glad that this part was included because it builds up more emotion. It also helps the reader understand what people went through prior. This comic is visually enhanced by the use of dark values, shape language, and composition. This can be seen when the dark, sharp, and monster-like tentacles are floating over the empty streets. This comic does an excellent job of showing the difference of the old and new world, and how one must adapt. When I was reading this, I kept thinking of the Wizard of Oz. Even though this isn’t a dream, the read...
