I sadly can’t remember the name of the graphic novel I read or find it online, but it was a depressing story about a girl growing up with a perfectionist dad who secretly had sex with underage boys. The art style wasn’t very complex, but it was simple and rather dreary. The tone of the story was reflected in the color scheme, was black and white with bluish gray backgrounds. The dull colors made it so that the only positive was white, but that isn’t to say there was much of any negative space on the pages. The characters were colored in black and white and were of course, always in the foreground. The backgrounds were on their own plane and colored bluish grey. The outlines for each character were relatively thin as well. There was rarely ever any negative space, as most pages were filled with visual information such as characters, dialogue, and very distinct settings from the author’s life, especially since her father had a hobby of decorating. The focal points of almost every page were the characters and many pages also followed the rule of thirds in how those characters were placed on the page. There wasn’t any symmetrical balance or any visual symmetry that I found in how the pages were constructed, but the subjects of every page were always close in view and there were never any people or other distant subjects in the backgrounds.
