LIA CAST 136 - Using Composition Narratively, With Dan Mishkin (rebroadcast)

Talking about visual rhythms on the Lean Into Art Cast!

How do you choose how every element in your comic interacts to achieve maximum clarity? How do you use framing, staging, and angle to create moments that show the moments’ tone, rhythm, or mood? How does this thinking change when sound, color, page layout, panel shapes, and panel interiors begin to interact with one another?

In other words, how does thinking about composition change the way you create your comics?

Comics writer Dan Mishkin sits in for Rob to chat with Jerzy about how thinking about composition as a narrative tool can improve your comics storytelling.

LIA Cast 209 - Unpacking Your Work for Presentation

At some point you may be asked to describe your creative process, whether it’s at a friendly get together, an informal meeting at work, on a panel at a conference, or in a workshop environment.

Putting words to thinking that sometimes happens silently and abstractly can reveal new dimensions to the work you’re doing. But how do you approach this unpacking? How does the intended audience shape the presentation material? How does your sense of mission inform the material?

Join us for a discussion on how we go about picking apart our work to turn it into material to present to a variety of audiences.
