-- Press Release ---
Why do some comics read easier than others? Is it the story, the
cartooning or the page design? Frank Santoro will demonstrate how some
cartoonists such as Hal Foster and Herge used visual harmonies and
structures in their page designs much like classical oil painters.
Discover the similarities between visual and musical harmonies and how
some of the great cartoonists used dynamic symmetry like a map to
organize their stories.
Also, after the talk, Frank will lead an informal FREE workshop
focusing on formats available for the comic book maker in 2012. Everyone
is welcome. Come see what Frank Santoro’s Correspondence Course is all
about – or come on down just to argue with Frank – maybe even buy a book
and get it signed.
