Presenting Comics

I’m not entirely sure why I was drawn to this recent TED presentation by Scott McCloud but it was worth 17 minutes of my time to see a great, passionate presenter at work.

I liked the way he talked about pattern matching (heard that somewhere before) and started to realise this is something I tend to do. I’m not saying I’m good at it but this got me thinking more about it and how maybe it’s a skill to be honed.

Garr Reynolds has a much better write-up than I can do as does Scott Johnson

The key points are good ones for anyone

  • Watch for patterns
