Reading the graphic essay about using pictures with essays was a very new and inspiration experience for me. I have never been exposed to the use of pictures with essays, but McCloud easily showed me that not only can it be fun; the process also proves to be very effective. The first thing that I noticed about the graphics is that they can easily had extra humor or emotion to an essay. These images produce another sensation to our bodies and that helps keep us interested in something. I think that it was definitely this reason that I had so much pleasure while reading this graphic essay. I was happy that this essay was about graphic essays because I really don’t know that much information about them; the essay actually gave me insight so that I can read more graphic essays in the future.
I only wish that I was more creative and able to make comics like this one. I think that I would be able to produce a strong essay but that I would have a hard time connecting the visual aspects to it. As McCloud informed us about the different methods of using visuals in an essay, I really learned a lot about different options I could use for my essays in the future. The only problem that I found while reading through this essay was the confusion that sometimes arose with organization. It seems like it would take a lot more work to read through an essay when there are pictures because you have to stop and look at them and you have to follow the words carefully. A couple of times I read the wrong box, out of place, and it completely messed up the information.
