Graphic Storytelling in New Media

There’s a reason Google tapped the talents of Understanding Comics author Scott McCloud to introduce their innovative browser to the world; comics possess the graphic clarity, visual language and universal appeal necessary to communicate complex stories, ideas and emotions to the largest audience possible.

Join interactive designer (and published cartoonist) Tyler Sticka as we infuse the potential of our user experiences with the compositional, narrative and iconic principals of graphic storytelling.

Presented at the 2009 WebVisions Conference at the Oregon Convention Center.
