Lecture Exercise_wk8

Jason Lex, the amphibian’s lullaby
For this exercise we were to study on this art based online.
Today, we learnt about Mccloud's Mad Scientist Approach web paneling and infinite factor of the web. Personally, I thought its really interesting to discover the different experiences we can have between normal comic strip on book and comic placed in web.

The experience I gained from this story style is really very unique, because its an artstyle I never seen before. It is presented in a way that is so different from the traditional comic book format. The artistic actually bended the rules of sequential storytelling, illustration and computer coloring.
The images are arranged in a "U" shape instead of traditional placement of comic frames. When the images places downwards it seems like the artist is trying to give us a sense of the characters "dismay"... 
Additionally, there were no gutter and the artist played so much on collage to allow readers to imagine with all the mixture of different colors to "depict" his hallucination.

I guess all this breaking of rules that the artist did is not possible in comic book, web with no borders or limits to the space makes everything so much more intesting and possible. 
PS: Online comic really helps to save cost for color printing.
