In our Nov. 2nd DES 1 class, we had an unusual lecture. Our professor invented a guest; Brian Fies talks in to our class. He is the writer and illustrator of his two comic books, Mom’s Cancer and Whatever Happened to the World Tomorrow? I am really glad to be his audience at that time, because I can get in to the real comic world. I always wonder how to make a comic book. I like to read comic books since I was in middle school. And now, we had a real comic writer talk about his experience. He uses rock music to explain comic, rock music is combination of music and lyrics. If people just listen the music, it is kind of boring. Or just read the lyrics, it is terrible poetry. But put those together can make people laugh or cry. Therefore, comics are the same way as rock music, combination of words and pictures.
When he talked about the book cover of mom’s cancer, which is interesting and also hard to do. They made many kinds of book cover, different pictures from the book, different combination of colors, type fonts. After they chose from many pictures, they decide to use the picture of his mom’s side face in the hospital. I think this is a very successful book cover and it worth their effort.
Brian Fies talked lots useful things about comic design in this class. Also I had more interest in comic after his lecture.
