The layout of my graphic novel, Marvel, follows the rule of thirds. The pattern in the novel reads top to bottom and left to right. This is formed because it helps the reader read the novel more smoothly. This type of reading is different then any other type of reading becuase some of the boxes pop out and that tells you it is important.

My graphic novel's style of drawing is very detailed, colorful, and almost realistic. The colors throughout the novel change based on the mood of the scene. But for the most part, the color of the comics stay the same. I get the sense of realism and it reminds me of a movie. This makes me think that instead of reading a comic, I am imagining the actual scene like in a movie.

The layout in the graphic novel I am starting to read, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, does not follow the rule of thirds as much as other graphic novels do. The novel reads top to bottom, however, it does not read left to right. There are not many pictures on each page because there is more writing. This type of graphic novel is different then others because there is alot more reading then usual graphic novels. Although there are not many pictures in the novel, the pictures they do show mean that they are important.

My graphic novel's style of drawing is very basic and colorless, compared to my other graphic novel, Marvel. The black and white, basic pictures do not change throughout the novel. Even though there is not many pictures in this graphic novel, it is still interesting to read and gives me a visual moving image, like a movie.
