COMIC STRIP PROJECT




       TWO OPTIONS:
  -5 (or more) panel comic
  -Comic book cover.
Today we are going to learn:
• Some specific
  narrative techniques
  used in comics and
  graphic novels

• To start creating
  our own comic
  strips.
Basic Parts Of A Comic
Panels
 A panel is an individual
 frame, or single drawing,
 in the multiple-panel
 sequence of a comic strip
 or comic book.

 It is the smaller box on a
 page in which the images
 are drawn. A panel
 consists of one drawing
 that depicts a single
 moment in time.
Speech Bubbles
       Graphic used to
       assign ownership of
       dialogue.

       Speech bubbles are
       used to tell your
       readers what each
       character in your
       comic strip is saying
       and feeling.
There are lots of different ways
in which speech-bubbles can be
drawn.

Scream Bubbles: indicate a
character is screaming or
shouting. They have jagged
edges.

Coloured Bubbles: conveys the
emotion that goes with the
speech, such as red for anger.

Icicle Bubbles: have jagged
icicles hanging from the bottom
representing cold hostility.
Similarly the speech bubbles of
monsters may have an outline
that suggests dripping blood or
slime.
Thought Bubbles

    Graphic used to show
    internal thoughts of a
    character.

    Usually cloud shaped and
    connected to owner by a
    series of smaller
    bubbles.
Onomatopoeia

   A word that imitates the
   sound that it is
   describing.

   Famously used in comics
   as a pictorial
   representation of a sound
   effect.
Comic techniques
Captions

Narrative device used to
convey information that
cannot be communicated
by speech.

Usually takes the form
of a small rectangular
box situated in a corner
of the panel.
Panel Frames
       Border or edges of
       a panel.

       Usually rectangular
       in shape, but cloud
       shaped can indicate
       a dream/flashback
       and one with a
       jagged edge can
       indicate
       anger/shock.
Here is an example of
a standard panel
comic.


-Notice how each frame
shows an action.

-Some frames are of
scenes and others are
close ups.
