McCloud Video

         In McCloud’s talk, I learned a lot about comics that I did not know before. He explained how to understand comics and that they have a visual medium that embrace all senses. Also, I didn’t know before that there are invisible parts to comics. These invisible segments are the parts that we have to imagine between panels, which can alter the whole comic. McCloud talks about how comics have been seen throughout history and the Egyptians are a great example of this. We can also see patterns in comics and are able to follow the flow of them. McCloud proposed that a monitor is seen as a window and can show how storylines can flow and have different patterns. I enjoyed this video and liked what McCloud had to say.
