Scott McCloud's: Understanding Comics

THIS WAS GENIUS! To drive home the point of comics and to truly understand comics and how the read them in the language of comics was amazing. More than the format of the comic book, I really loved the point of how we can relate to comic characters even when they are simplified even to an extreme. As a Motion Designer, everything we do, the goal is to simplify simplify simplify. McCloud even suggests that the more we simplify the better!

This was an amazing read and I believe that at least every incoming freshman at Ringling should read this comic, because it makes storyboarding, illustration and even graphic design make much more sense on a base level of understanding.
