CE4: Practicing Text-Image relationships

For this class exercise, we utilized a practice sheet by C Hill to practice text-image relationships.

1. Complementary

The words and images will combine to illustrate a story that neither is able to accomplish on its own.

2. Contrasting
Text and image convey different ideas. This is usually used to suggest sarcasm.

3. Redundant

Both image and text say basically the same thing. Text here is usually used to illustrate a blatant point.

 4. Unrelated
Text and image are not connected  and are usually of poetic associations.

Also in tutorial, Jing gave us an impromptu task of drawing up a short comic strip. This was based of the poem of Jack and Jill. The main purpose was to see how we organized our panel layouts. Here's mine:

I think I didn't do so well on the panelling especially for the last three panels. Jack and Jill were suppose to roll down the hill and horizontal panels stretching across the page aren't exactly the best format. Jing suggested using vertical panels instead, which I have to agree, might have been better. This all means we have to plan strategically when we organize our panels and the need to consider the best format to represent the story.
