English Graphic Novel quiz

Question 1

Border

Answer 1

the edge of a particular panel. Sometimes panels do not have defined borders; in
these instances, the panel is said to ‘bleed’ either into another panel, or simply into
timeless empty space

Gutter:

Answer 2

writing: show, don’t tell.

Question 3

Speech bubble

indicator from the speaker to the bubble is called a ‘pointer’. Sometimes, this is
represented as a series of bubbles, which indicate a character’s thoughts instead of
something actually spoken

Question 4

Answer 4

graphic signs used to relate information that cannot easily be perceived, such
as states of mind, particular feelings or other non-visible phenomena.

Question 5

Tier:

Answer 5

A row of panels

Question 6

Icon

Question 7

Answer 7
