Chapter 3 and 4


Chapter three talks about closure and the illusion that there is more to an image or idea, without actually considering what is presented to us. This sense of “closure” allows us to see images and transform their meanings and motion as an act that consist of gestures and narratives. But in order to experience closure, the onlooker must be consciously involved with their creativity and imagination. As a result a sense of space and time can be created, giving the narrative some realism. `In comics these attributes can be demonstrated through the aid of transitions such as , subject, action, scene, moment, aspect, and non sequitor.

Chapter four introduces time, and our ability to acknowledge it in images. The illusion of time can only be observed by what is perceived in an image. The sequence in an action builds that time as our eye wander from point A, to point B, to point C, etc. Furthermore the panels, or frames in which we see these images only add to dimensions in different times and space. When we look at an image, we automatically believe that the image stands in its own different world plane separate from our own. Its like the framework itself is a portal to the image’s world.
