For this weeks task we were asked to pick a comic artist of our choice and analyse their work. I had chosen Tango Gao as I like how simple yet unique his designs are. The majority of his comics are Moment to Moment with some being Action to Action, this is because most his comics are just small comical illustrations which feature a rolling narrative to them. Most of his comics, while simple, require some understating as some feature elements of intertextuality which you would need to understand to give a positive reading of the text, for example the QR and Barcode comic requires you to understand how QR codes are slowly taking over from barcodes, an older audience might now understand this reading as much as a younger audience would. Some of his comics don't feature a panel or gutter, this could be down to most of them being Moment to Moment and Action to Action as it creates a nice quick flow in which the audience can quickly absorb and doesn't have to spend time taking it in.
