WEEK 13 The Killing joke (8 points)

WEEK 14 The Killing joke

My first reaction to the text was being very impressed by the amount of detail and deep planning behind the art. a second thing that I noticed was that in this case there was definitely a huge though behind the story and its meaning,

I connect with some aspects of the story. for example, there is a strong sense of values and codes, there is a fine line on losing yourself when you dive deep into your mind and emotions. having this method of self contain like a moral code is almost a key part of preserving the essence of who we think we are. 

In this case, I would try to adapt this format to a medium to different form the one presented, there is a special a very strong value in the way it was created, and maybe pushing those limits too much would break the sense of atmosphere. a good example of what could be done to adapt it is to animate each of the panels but not turning the piece into an animation, there are examples of these done before and with the usage of sound, the illustrated part of the piece will be elevated. I wouldn't change anything on the story but nothing more than adding some voice acting and sound effects.

Mostly in the ending. this story is mostly based on the perspective of the villain and the explanations for his acts. even tho we feel very connected to the hero the main point of the comic is not to show his heroic actions, is more like a journey to understand evil and good. and ask ourselves if there is any meaning in it.

WEEK 3 the comic strip (4 points)

 This week We read the Smithsonian collection of comics. These comics were very different to what I was used to read. there was many different subjects that were exposed and represented in a very unique way. these comics help me understand a wider representation of the society at that time. the vision in matters of roles and races where really different to what we have in the modern society. is difficult to be specific about this week reading because the comics were very short and also threading many different subjects at the same time. it was sincerely interesting and very eyes opening on the how much potential comics have to tell a story of deal with a specific subject, and how influential can be to our society. there was definitely an era of experimentation where the limits of the comics stand. this time was very important to explore what was going to be the reaction of society with comics and how intense was going to be their influence on people of all ages and ethnicities. fro...

Week 14 the Motion Comics and Webcomics (5 points)

 This week we had the chance to explore the world of motion comics and webcomics.  this is a subject that has become more and more popular recently and has grown immensely in the past couple of years. there is definitely a necessity for finding new and exciting stories coming from different sources than the mainstream media. mostly because those places have been already heavily influenced by the social justice warriors or the family-friendly mafia. when big companies like Disney or DreamWorks etc get involved is very difficult to have creative freedom and these spaces online are definitely ways that we can embrace that type of freedom to create interesting and meaningful stories. this week I had the chance to read the octopus pie collection. it was a very interesting experience. the drawing style is very much a hybrid that reminds me of the art of Bryan lee O'Malley in the Scott pilgrim comics with the Simpsons style of expressions and forms. there are many interesting aspects...
