The Ins and Outs of Webcomics, comic page. "Layouts" Four panels where Jey starts off far away and gradually gets closer until their hands are pressed up against the panel. As they get closer they say "This is a very important part of comics-- and the panel choices you make-- can change-- the reading experience!" "Simple layouts are easier to read than complex ones. Don't make reading a chore." Jey is giving a thumbs up beside a simple, easy to read comic page where the eye zig zags through the panels with ease. Jey is dizzy and shrugging confused beside a complex comic page where the eye isn't sure which panel comes next. "It's okay to reuse layouts. Don't feel like you have to do something new every. single. page." Three comic layout examples are shown, and then the same three layouts are shown below just in a different order. "Use gutters to your advantage to establish pacing and time." A panel of a sunny day, with a big gutter between it and a smaller panel with a light to dark gradient, another big gutter, and a panel with the moon and stars in the night sky.
