Moment-to-moment: easy to attain closure Action-to-Action: single subject Subject-to-Subject: while staying within a scene or
idea—requires reader involvement to be successful. Scene-to-Scene: Deductive Reasoning needed to
transport the reader across significant distances of time and space.
Aspect-to-Aspect: bypasses time for the most part and sets a wandering eye on different aspects of place, idea or mood.
Non-Sequitur: no logical relationships between panels.
Panel to Panel Transitions

Non-sequitur which offers no logical relationship between
panels

How we all began telling
stories
![Page 14: Visual Analysis Part II](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5681653b550346895dd7bd05/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
We assume as readers that we will know what
order to read panels in but the business of arranging those panels is actually quite complex.
Some artists are deliberately ambiguous. Closure can be a powerful force within panels
as well as between them, when artists choose to show only a small piece of the picture.
Closure
![Page 15: Visual Analysis Part II](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5681653b550346895dd7bd05/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Whatever the mysteries within each panel, it’s
the power of closure between panels that I find the most interesting.
There’s something strange and wonderful that happens in the blank ribbon of paper.
We already know that comics as the mind to work as a sort of in-betweener—filling in the gaps between panels as an animator might—but I believe there’s till more to it than that.

The idea that a picture
can evoke an emotional or sensual response in the viewer is vital to the art of comics.
Can Emotion Be Made Visible?

By far the most widely-used most complex
and most versatile of comics many synaesthetic icons is the ever-present, ever-popular word balloon.
Over the years comics creators have struggled with dozens of variations in their desperate attempts to depict sound in a strictly visual medium.
Variations in balloon shape and the symbols that go inside the balloon are constantly being invented or appropriated.
