Panel Composition — Panel Composition Methodology
Expert knowledge used by the storyboarder and image-generator agents when designing comic panels and generating images.
Why Composition Defines Comics
Comics are a medium that converts time into space. Unlike film where time flows automatically, comics rely on the reader's gaze movement to create time. Panel size, shape, and arrangement are the tools for directing time and emotion.
Basic Panel Layout Patterns
4-Panel Comic Layouts
| Pattern | Structure | Best For |
|---|
| Setup-Development-Twist-Punchline | 4 equal vertical panels | Comedy, observational humor |
| Wide to Close | Wide -> Standard -> Standard -> Close-up | Drama, emotional emphasis |
| Zoom In | Long shot -> Medium -> Close -> Extreme close-up | Building tension, discovery |
| Time Jump | Past -> Present -> Present -> Result | Contrast, growth |
Webtoon Layout (Vertical Scroll)
