Scott McCloud: "Comics gives you two panels to see and also something to see between the lines." I think that this could really be used in making our covers and layouts because the fact that the panels are folded under makes them, "hidden" thus giving you something to imagine that is on them. How they relate to the front and back cover will give the viewer more of a hint or less of a hint in which are on them.
J.J. Abrams: "Mystery is more important than knowledge". If people are curious about why your cover is designed the way it is or why something is on your cover they will be intrigued to figure out what it is about.
What makes a good design good? How do you know if you are designing for something that is bad?
Not an actual quote, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteWhat you're referring to is probably:
"In any two panels, the artist gives us something to see within each panel, and something to imagine between them."
And yes, I was ego-surfing. ;-)
