Different methods of using the web for comic & the types of story they tell



To extend or emphasise the storytelling (scale or time) - Infinite canvas

  • To show depth or scale of the setting of the comic (eg. falling down, or walking along)
  • to show time - more breathing space between panels to space the whole thing out time-wise (always human)
  • to show drama - eg something breaking out of the panels to fill the whole screen
  • in more normal cases, it's the natural way to read on the web and makes it easier

To hide extra pieces of story/world/character for readers to find/interact with
  • clicking around like margot's room, non-linear storytelling,finding out more and more deeper info
  • finding out more worldbuilding and secrets -eg instagram map
  • things can also be hidden behind the layers with parallax
