PROBLEM
             Creating content for one medium to repurpose for
           another diminishes the user experience in the receiving
                                  medium.

                                 ๏ Repurposing print comics for web and mobile
                                    crops content awkwardly and inconsistently.

                                 ๏ Repurposing web comics for mobile crops
                                    content awkwardly and are sometimes not
                                    standard print dimensions.

                                 ๏ Repurposing digital comics for print limits layout
                                    options.

                                 ๏ Repurposing animated reveals in digital comics
                                    creates panel redundancy or omitted content in
                                    print.

PARAMETERS
           Panels, screens and pages all tell stories via a rectangular
                                 viewing area.
                                   ๏ Use mobile screen viewing and panning as the
                                      basis for an easy reading experience.

                                   ๏ Story beats should take advantage of the
                                      viewable area of a landscape mobile screen and
                                      use it for directed storytelling (users should not
                                      need to pinch, zoom, or manually explore
                                      panels).

                                   ๏ The mobile view should follow the direction
                                      that readers’ eyes would take on a printed page.

                                   ๏ Do not create panels or beats that necessitate
                                      turning the mobile device.

                                   ๏ Do not create animated reveals in digital comics
                                      using the same panel unless they are markedly
                                      different and contribute to the story’s pace.
