The Relationship Between Graphic Novels and Technology

 







The idea of a graphic novel being technology helps expand the concept of technology altogether to me. I picked the graphic novel nineteen, which is about a 20 year old looking back on her childhood in a coming- of-age styled story. Technology is used to help humans convey, experiment, and learn, so calling this graphic novel technology is very suiting. The story is technology that helps kids and young adults learn and connect. This graphic novel can be used as guidance for those struggling to understand what it is to grow up, while doing so in an entertaining and comical way.  

Not only would I consider the graphic novel itself technology, but it also used technology in order to make the illustrations. As seen above, the illustrations in nineteen are bold, and made of black and white ink. In order to fully convey what the illustrator wants to convey, they must specifically select certain mediums, types of pens/pencils. This means the technology used to make the illustrations will determine how the outcome will look, which can alter the overall perception of the story and what the author is trying to tell.

Though many currently have a pessimistic outlook, there are plenty of brains on the hunt to find ways to help our planet. Specifically, the same way technology can be used in damaging ways, more recently it has been applied to aiding the planet and saving our future. So, today I am going to use my blog to help you all understand two things: First, there is optimism for a greener...
