And a frame is mysterious it begs the question: what’s beyond the boundaries of what you can see?”įinally, Roberts said, a frame is like a prison: a box, or fence around whatever is inside, that creates an unconscious tension in the viewer. "A frame is an act of affection you see things in a frame because they’re precious. “It leads the viewer’s attention and represents curation: it cares about what it contains, isn’t neutral, and represents a choice about what to include and exclude. With Gorogoa, Roberts wanted to make the frame poignant and intentional. “When you work on a comic you cannot ignore the frame,” he said. Working in the comic book medium led Roberts to think carefully about frames-those squares and rectangles through which a comic book author tells a story-and, more broadly, how we encounter so much of the world, be it via smartphones or televisions. “I had to do something with it, even if it wasn't going to be a comic.” “Through that process I came to realize that composing the page was more interesting to me that sequential storytelling,” Roberts said. In a talk titled, ' Gorogoa: The Design of a Cosmic Acrostic', delivered at the Game Developers Conference 2018 in San Francisco, Roberts told a packed room about his attempt to write and draw a comic book, which stalled ten pages in.
