Week 4 lecture! We learnt about the use of text in comics, and as usual, we were given a class exercise! This time, it was divided into 2 parts: the individual part, and the group work. (So basically we were given 2 exercises to do this week)

Firstly, the individual exercise! Although Scott McCloud had 7 classifications of text in comics, prof thought that having just 4 might be a better idea. So we ended up with the following 4 categories: redundant, contrasting, interdependent, and non-related. We were then supposed to put them into practice. Picture is pretty self-explanatory.


Then we had the group exercise. We were given a short comic page without words, and told to use whatever we had just learnt to add words, in whatever way we wanted.


can you guess what the context is? :P
anyway we didnt add the text to the picture on the spot as group, so I took the chance to be lazyliberal with the fonts and the positioning! not much exciting words here....so not much of what we've learn was applied i guess :/ most things are just her thinking to herself.
I stayed up till 9:50 PM to do this
