So much story is conveyed through just the illustrations. It makes one wonder what type of processes an illustrator goes through to get that end result. That’s why we sent out a member of our crew to interview Melissa Sweet, an award winning illustrator.

Visual FormatsMay 25, 201912mSymbols and visual cues are everywhere. A 15 minute car ride can contain tons of messages from green means go, to the billboards passed on the highway.

We have in the studio today Kerry Soper, a scholar who studies comics and visual literacy.
