Ă propos de ce livre
If you're an executive, designer, product manager, marketer, or engineer, communication is part of your work. Using images and text in unique ways, comics can engage readers in ways traditional methods can't. In See What I Mean, you'll learn how to create comics about your products and processes without an illustrator—just like Google, eBay, and Adobe do.

The word âcomicsâ carries many connotations. In North America, the word is often synonymous with âcartoonsâ and considered to be something for children. For example, cartoons might be associated with Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and X-Men or with Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes, and The Family Circus.
MerriamâWebster defines comics (or comic) as:
- comedian (a stand-up comic)
- the comic element
- a: comic strip, b: comic book, c (plural): the part of a newspaper devoted to comic strips
and subsequently defines a comic strip as:
- a group of cartoons in narrative sequence
While Sunday comics are a defining part of many peopleâs experience with comics, it only represents a fraction of what comics are. In my opinion, this definition is indicative of how comics are underappreciated as an art form and a communication medium. In fact, comics have had a long-standing worldwide cultural impact across all ages.
Comics Around the World
In Japan, comics are known as manga. They are seen as a popular and mainstream form of entertainment, covering a wide variety of topics, including sports, fantasy, romance, business, and education. The audience demographic is just as broad as the subject matter.
When best-selling author Daniel Pink was living in Tokyo, he noticed how prevalent manga was. As an experiment, he attempted to walk a city block without seeing somebody holding or reading a comic bookâand failed. He was so inspired by this medium that he decided to write his next business book, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko, in comic form. In Chapter 8, âApplying Comics,â weâll hear more from Daniel about his book and why comics worked for him.
Comics are quite popular in Europe as well. The Belgian series Adventures of Tin Tin and the French series Asterix were so popular that they were both translated into over 80 languages. Their longevity is equally impressive: Tin Tin first appeared in 1929, and its collections are still being reprinted today, while Asterix has been around since 1959 and is still running!
Comics for Young and Old
It may surprise you as it did me that a comic book was named Time Magazineâs Book of the Year. Thereâs nothing wrong with comics that are âjust for kidsâ; I still thoroughly enjoy comic strips such as Foxtrot or Calvin & Hobbes, as well as the occasional superhero comic or movie. But in the last decade, a surge of comics tackling more serious subjects has emerged that can only be described as art. The New York Times recognized this trend by starting a Graphic Books Best Seller List category in 2009.
Even if you donât end up drawing a single stick figure, I hope you check out some of these masterpieces. They can illustrate the power of the medium far better than I ever could and will entertain you at the same time. Their subject matter is as diverse as their art styles:
âą Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, a memoir by Alison Bechdel, deals with sexual orientation, suicide, and complex family relationships. Itâs the book that made the New York Times Best Seller List before there was a graphic books category and also won Book of the Year.
âą 300 and Sin City are two comics by American writer and artist Frank Miller. One is a violent fictional retelling of the B...
