Design of, and the Identification of factors involved in the digitisation of the Comic Book

The first half of this project will look at the material conditions that are relevant to the comic book, it will also look at the less 'tangible' aspects such as how comics can be studied academically. The second half of this project will look at creating a prototype digital edition, this prototype will be analysed to help reveal further insights into how a physical comic book achieves what it does, and how a new, digital edition might come to be realised. The project will conclude with the design and specification of a new digitial comic from the knowledge that we have gathered.
