There are many design forms applies the combining of words and images. A good well know example is the comic books.
Comic book is a media or design form that existed in our lives for a long time, the history about comic books are from long ago, it has discussed in McCloud’s book. When Egyptians created the wall paintings, the concept of juxtaposed images had born. Then it has developed upon time. Until people discovered that by using juxtaposed image with words, the combination has a chemical reaction for an importance use which is “story telling.”
Our guest Brian Fies has a speech about his works and design experience in class. He introduced to us how he uses comic books to tell his own story (which is his first book about his mother’s cancer, it is very a private family story he shared with people by using comic as the media) and also the design process he has had. He stated that comic “transcends words and drawings” in order to “illustrate things” and most specifically, it “tells stories.” Thus, I have found reflection to our earlier topic, “design is a conversation.”
Comic is a design form and also as a conversation, it uses simple drawings in a juxtaposed way with few words to tell the readers a long and complicated story. The exchange of message between the creator and the readers is successfully built a conversation. In this setting, images and words are the elements to fill-in the design structure or form (the book), and then the completion (comic) becomes the media to deliver the message. This is how words and images work together and have a fascinate impact.
