Abstract
For over a hundred years, comics have been a way for artists to tell stories in unique ways. An important storytelling device to comics is the relationship between the panels. When one panel is placed next to another we derive meanings from the relationship that is formed. For years comics have adhered to panel placement dictated by the page, whether it is the Sunday paper or a comic book. Digital media presents an opportunity for artists to experiment with new ways of forming comics. By leveraging digital technology's ability to simulate an environment with infinite canvas space I will attempt to show how new panel arrangements can open up new opportunities for artists to tell stories not possible in print comics.
