read: Understanding Comics, Chapter 2

blog: using the GIMP, design an icon for a topic, claim, thesis, idea, or pattern of argument on the wiki

In chapter two, "The Vocabulary of Comics," McCloud details the communicative force of icons, and argues that society regularly produces new symbols and iconography in diverse media. On page 49, McCloud seems to suggest that we can produce icons by manipulating the gradient between pictures and words, that is, by making pictures more like words and words more like pictures.

1. For this blog, find or create an image and make it into an icon by putting it together with a definitional or causal claim that builds on, works with, or in some way responds to a classmate's writing. Post on the community readings blog page named Understanding Comics

2. download the GIMP, an open source image remixer, and further simplify, streamline, or otherwise remix your icon or a classmate's icon, and blog about the new directions, movements and ideas you experienced in the process of your remix.
