Now I’ll start the essay

I got so caught up in researching people, that I totally forgot to stick to the essay plan… so I got back on track.



It felt good to get my early process of the essay out there, lord knows I haven’t been this prepared at this point in previous years. I got some interesting feedback

Basically the conclusion was drawn that my focus should be on comics, with that as the foundation of the project, I can then venture in to the other areas of interest. A specific example of this could be the use of animation within comics to make what is known as motion comics.

I had been considering an angle of research where I analyse different cultures approaches to storytelling, but this now doesn’t really seem to be appropriate for the project, and was admittedly something I had been shaky on working with considering no culture has one shining example of a peice of media that showcases all that makes them unique.

If I’m going to work with comics and technologies that work alongside them, I’m best to focus on the now or the future, and need to avoid getting bogged down in the historical aspects.

Comics don’t rely or depend on tech, something I need to keep in mind for my essay, ensure I still cover comics as they are. With this I should compare both physical and digital presentations of comics, talk about how they are competing, or possibly helping one and other in sales.


So yeah, I have a lot to consider and work from.
