The most compelling way of
storytelling demonstrated through illustration in the graphic novel Asterios
Polyp is through the series of illustrated panels and with no dialogue whatsoever.
Because there is no dialogue in some the panels, the story relies heavily on
being told through images. It’s simple but quite impactful because it takes the
reader through the story visually and swiftly. Also, with the use of interesting
compositions and stylistic choices of illustration it draws the reader’s eye to
what is happening. It directs the reader’s eye around the panel without the aid
of words, which is pretty neat.
Storytelling
may play an important role through my own work because it provides a narrative for
the audience. A piece of artwork that is visually stimulating is probably, I guess
in my opinion, not as impactful as a piece of artwork with a strong story
behind it. Or in it’s own perspective it could be really impactful. It leaves
an impression on the viewer that could really inspire them. I want to create
visually pleasing art work, but if I can achieve that and attach a very
compelling story with it and that could perhaps be thought-provoking then I
would be quite satisfied. With my future work in photography, I hope to create
more narrative-influence based work because I don’t feel as if enough of my
work really explores that element just yet.
