Scott McCloud at VizThink ‘08
September 7, 2007 – 3:07 pm |
We can’t tell you how excited we are about this next announcement…Scott McCloud is going to be facilitating at VizThink ‘08!!! Scott has written several books that are ostensibly about comics, however, in our opinion, have more to do with visualization, communication, and especially storytelling. His books should be required reading for anybody in learning or communications. |
What’s best? He applies his own theories to his own writing. The books are written in a graphic novel form demonstrating the technique while talking about it. Now that’s cool. Come learn about spacing, timing, color, combining text and visualization, art style, and so many more things.
Scott McCloud has been writing and drawing comics since 1984. His book Understanding Comics was a New York Times Notable book for 1994, and is available in 16 languages. McCloud has lectured on comics and digital media at Harvard University, MIT, Pixar, Microsoft and The Smithsonian Institution. McCloud’s online comics can be found on his website at scottmccloud.com. His latest book, Making Comics, for which he just finished a 50-state-and-several-Canadian-province tour is in stores now.
Can you tell we’re excited? Welcome, Scott!
