Significant Significance: Comics as a Tool in Design Education /Matthew J Akos. - 1 electronic resource (106 pages)

One of the most significant challenges I've observed in my teaching students in visual communication design has been their ability to solve problems in a less literal sense. This thesis explores the discussion of comics in the form of graphic novels applied to works of design. Two seminal works of comics theory: Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art and Thierry Groensteen's Comics and Narration are used to demonstrate how comics communicate and interact with readers followed by an exploration of how different comics works employ these strategies. Then, the same exploration of user interaction and communication as seen in comics is applied to works of design in four formats: informational layouts, posters, wayfinding, and editorial layouts. By cross-examining works of design through the lens of comics we explore a new educational method by which students in visual communication design can extract meaning from existing works and apply new strategies and approaches to their own work.
