UCD15 Talk - Daniel Whiston - The relationship between comics and digital content design

Comics vs. Digital

Impact of digital on comics

‘Not possessing the nuances of a comic or the visual flair of a cartoon… Motion comics are designed for people who are too lazy to read a graphic novel.’

‘Comics, consumed as a technology, is older, and has become much more sophisticated than digital comics, which are something new. I felt it would be a mistake to try to “enhance” things that the comics medium was probably doing perfectly well on its own.’

(Alan Moore)
