Writing for Visual Thinkers is an e-book textbook. The book explores various relationships between writing and design, allowing students to incorporate various ideas and methods of writing into their work. The e-book format allows for dynamic media (such as podcast interviews, video and downloadable PDF exercises), to be easily accessed. The book is currently under development and this blog is intended to create a dialogue and share ideas for book content.

Anything by Frank Miller because it's written well. Anything by Alan Moore because the characters come alive. Illustrations by Bill Sienkiewicz because they capture the raw emotion of the scene. Most anything by Chris Ware because he understands pacing, framing, and drama---and also typography.
I have enjoyed Daniel Clowes books because Daniel captures teenage angst perfectly. "Clive Fans" by Seth is also well-written and illustrated. Graphic novels are a hybrid between a novel and a movie. They are inspiring for the escapism, the style in which they are drawn, the compositions, colors, and for their take on culture.
