For this weeks Blog Exercise I chose a page from one of the web-comics I read, Gutters Issue 45. The background of the website makes use of lots of overlap with pens, pencils, brushes and erasers on the edges of the comic page. Tone and line also help to give these artists tools a perceived 3-dimensional quality. Navigation is located at the bottom of the page and sort of makes use of overlap. My favorite is an inkblot behind the papers and ruler near the top. I also like that the add banner is set within the ruler. Inside the page the artist uses linear perspective and simulates atmospheric perspective in panels 1 and 6. He also uses overlap with a characters foot in panel 1, one character over another in panel 3, and the noise words of panel 4. Panel 5 makes use of relative size and overlap to show characters at a distance behind a dying civilian in the foreground. Relative size and height simulates the distance between the characters of frame 6 combined with some overlap and linear perspective to make it the most complicated and interesting panel.
