Decoding Design: Form as Storytelling
Sunday December 8, 2024 12:00pm - 1:00pm EST
Thurman Commons
How does the form of a comic inform a readers' experience? How can the shapes, the layouts, the way it's folded, and very material a comic book is made from change the way we feel about a story? How can it change the meaning? Where is the line between comic book and art book? Come and meet artists pushing limits in the comics medium and get the inside scoop on how they craft these totally unique books.
