What is the creative process

he creative process is not just iterative; it’s also recursive. It plays out “in the large” and “in the small” ––in defining the broadest goals and concepts and refining the smallest details. It branches like a tree, and each choice has ramifications, which may not be known in advance. Recursion also suggests a procedure that “calls” or includes itself. Many engineers define the design process as a recursive function: discover > define > design > develop > deploy

Aperature

in optics and photography, an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. More specifically, the aperture of an optical system is the opening that determines the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane. The aperture determines how collimated the admitted rays are, which is of great importance for the appearance at the image plane. If an aperture is narrow, then highly collimated rays are admitted, resulting in a sharp focus at the image plane. If an aperture is wide, then uncollimated rays are admitted, resulting in a sharp focus only for rays with a certain focal length. This means that a wide aperture results in an image that is sharp around what the lens is focusing on and blurred otherwise. The aperture also determines how many of the incoming rays are actually admitted and thus how much light reaches the image plane (the narrower the aperture, the darker the image for a given exposure time).

Visual Journals

Visual journaling is a creative way to express and record life's experiences, feelings, emotional reactions, or our inner world - visually and verbally. Essentially, visual journaling can become a potential key to the artmaking process.

Exploring our own thought process through visual journaling is essential in a world that is in a state of continuous change. Just as there are many ways to express oneself artistically, there are many ways to create visual journals. By committing to the visual journaling process, one can learn how to access his/her inner language of imagery and express it both visually and verbally, while exploring the connection between image and word. Through visual journaling one can also become capable of articulating connections between their own personal art-making experiences and the works of master and contemporary artists.

What is panography

Panography is a photographic technique to compose one picture from several overlapping photos. This is normally done by digital image editing software.

Manga vs Anime

MANGA IS...
Manga is the Japanese word for comics. It is used in the English-speaking world as a generic term for all comic books and graphic novels that were originally published in Japan. Manga is often considered an artistic and storytelling style that can also encompass non-Japanese works, however. The term "AmeriManga" is sometimes used to refer to comics created by American artists in a manga style. Manwha is the Korean equivalent of that idea.
Manga is more unique than anime
ANIME IS....
Anime is commonly defined as animation originating in Japan. (アニメ^?, an abbreviated pronunciation in Japanese of "animation", pronounced [anime]  ( listen) in Japanese, but typically /ˈænɨmeɪ/  ( listen) or /ˈænɨmə/ in English.) The definition sometimes changes depending on the context.^[1] In English-speaking countries, anime is also referred to as "Japanese animation".^[2]

Will eisner

Will Eisner (1917-2005) was a great cartoonist, but he was also a shrewd businessman with his finger on the throbbing erratic pulse of popular culture trying to predict, maneuver, and exploit the next trend given his very specific set of skills. He spent his life wrestling with those demanding twins, Art and Commerce.

In 1936 when he was 19 Eisner had his first professional work published in "WOW What A Magazine!", one of the first comic books to publish new work in the format we are familiar with today. As he put it in an interview in 1984, "Pulp magazines were dying and pulp publishers were looking for other popular publishing ventures, and so comics represented that opportunity."

Eisner himself never missed an opportunity. Overnight dozens of new comic book titles and publishers erupted to mine the bonanza begun by the 1938 publication of Superman in Action Comics. Simultaneously all these publishers were putting out beefy 52 page comic books. They needed stories and art and they needed them last week.

Eisner and his partner, Jerry Iger, formed a company to package the guts of comic books and sell them to various publishers based on a very simple and sound method perfected by Henry Ford: the assembly line. Each page in the bullpen studio was literally handed from writer, to penciler, to letterer, to inker, to colorist with Eisner gripping his non-repro blue pencil at the end of the conveyor belt.

His works are very good :)
