In preparing this week's page of the Midwife story, I had remarked to Jackwraith that there was a lot going on in the individual panels and there was a noticeable change in the color pallet. My question was if this was too different from previous pages.
We've been experimenting with how to share Angie's point of view... The frame, communication pane, and other graphics help to communicate that vision. There is a lot of information being shared in the comm portal, and the desire is to provide additional information for those who take a bit of time. With all of the graphics, data being shared, and activity (not to mention the nefeshim buzzing around multiple panels), the thought was that the panels may be too busy. We'll continue to play with what we show, and I imagine that this is part of the growth in learning to tell a story.
