Point, Line, Plane: Cora Kline

The example I chose is from “A.D. After the Deluge” by Josh Neufeld,

ad-after-the-deluge

“After the Deluge” by Josh Neufeld

which was the graphic novel I received from O’English. This piece shows a points, lines, and planes in several different ways. One of the biggest is the implied line from each panel.  Ther
e is no physical line, but the way the characters’ eye’s gaze in the first and third panels guide the reader to a specific point in the second and fourth panel respectively. The point in the second panel is the man kicking down the door, which is almost perfectly in line with his eyes in the previous panel.  The point in the fourth panel is the very top of all the destroyed possessions, which again is almost perfectly in line with the man’s gaze.  There are major white lines dividing the page into the four panels, which help guide which way the reader should looks. Planes are shown through the angle of the “camera”.  The lines of the windows and the sidings show which way the “plane” of the house goes relative to our point of view, giving depth to the pictures. The lines create very little texture to the images. Combine that with single color images, there is a great deal of negative space.
