I chose to do a second project with the same comic book (Marvel Comics New Avengers #49) and take the first panel from the first 7 pages and put them in order to attempt to see if they looked like a comic book and could tell a story, even though they are missing the rest of the panels.




The process I used to create this image.

1) Scan each individual page of the comic book, starting with the cover.
2) Open the first seven pages
3) On the first page, cut away all the panels except for the first panel
4) On the second page, use the Rectangular Marquee Tool and select around the first panel
5) Go to Edit, then copy
6) Go back to the file of the first page and go Edit>Paste
7) Repeat steps 4-6 for the rest of the page files
8) After all the panels are on one file, arrange them in order
9) If there are files that need to be changed in order to be closer in shape, go to Edit>Transform>Size
For this project I took a comic book (Marvel Comics New Avengers #48) and decided to place every page atop one another and meshed them together.



The process I used to create this image.

1) Scan each individual page of the comic book, starting with the cover.
2) Skip pages that involve ad's
3) Open each page in photoshop
4) Move one page at a time into the file of the cover
5) Arrange each page (set as an individual layer) in order behind the cover
6) Set each layer as an overlay

Lev Manovich's Language of New Media writing divides new media into different types of divisions or "languages". This writing was interesting because it divided media into distinct divisions that I did not know existed. Yet I already knew there were different languages because I knew what media was composed of. By having these divisions it provides a compelling picture as to what the differences may be and allows New Media to be divided and not lumped together.

The Digital Media writing provides a in depth look at how many forms of art, be it writing, painting, photography, etc; are incorporating the computer into their work. It goes on to state that sometime in the future, all art will incorporate the computer somehow or be entirely done digitally. This is a scary notion to me because I feel that sometime in my lifetime the preference to do art will be digitally and not manually as it has been done for hundreds of years. I believe art will be lost because that it will not be something that can be touched and molded by hand, but by the mouse.
