5) WORKSHEET / SUBMISSION: FULL UP AND SUBMIT TO LEA THIS WORKSHEET ON SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE.
This submission is the first completion task in the process of developing your first essay. Keep in mind that process tasks will account for 33.33% of your final grade for the first essay.
Find a webcomic that is interesting in terms of the cartoonist's creative use of varied graphic elements (e.g., special panel types, borders, gutters, colors, handwriting, bubble tails, panel overlap, camera shots, ways to guide the reader's gaze, degree of realism, etc.) to tell the story and affect readers. Try to find a web comic that takes advantage of vertical scrolling!
Do not read the story; do not focus on the characters and what what they do. This is not a literary analysis. This is an analysis of the visual elements. Focus strictly on how it looks!In your oral presentation, you will examine the reasons why the author drew the lines, gutters, colors, or faces specifically this way… and not any other way. You may refer to the story, the characters and their actions but only to help your audience better understand the significance of the graphic elements.
I encourage you to explore webcomics specifically designed for online reading, such as those with a vertical scrolling format. These webcomics often stand out because of the creative use of transitions and gutters.
Webcomics are created to be published and read online, not on paper like regular comics. Here are three websites you may use to find webcomics: WebToon, Top Web Comics, and WebComics Hub. You can also use ChatGPT's Deep Research, using the prompt in the AI section on Moodle.
Take care.
