Comic format poll
Added 2023-09-06 10:29:37 +0000 UTCSorry for a ton of polls but this is important! ^^
Next month I'm planning a new big comic project, I need to decide on a comic orientation type! Which looks/reads better to you?
The classic vertical (book) orientation I tried in my latest comic -
Or my regular horisontal (album) page orientation -

I use any form of Media on a 1440p or 3840p wide screen so vertikal content in general makes not much sense for me.

2023-09-07 04:03:36 +0000 UTCDefinitely a hard decision, because they both look great! I'd vote for vertical more than not because of the classic feel, but I think it really depends. The vertical I'd say is probably better for longer for stories while horizontal might be better for short stories.

2023-09-06 16:05:05 +0000 UTCI can go with whichever since Iβm 99% of the time on phone or tablet. I wound up picking vertical (cause traditional I guess), but you can consider my vote as ether or.
2023-09-06 13:50:01 +0000 UTCYou can use both. The best part of digital is that you don't need to stick with one or the other. Portrait is best for storytelling. Switch over to Landscape when you need to do a giant scene. Just like a two page layout , or centerfold, in a book. Some seem to believe that Portrait is for phones. It's not. The vertical that works best for phones is Webtoon. The entire comic is usually only one panel wide and the story completely flows down. Does anyone know if this format has an official name?

2023-09-06 12:16:00 +0000 UTCYes but book format is probably more handy for printed comics

2023-09-06 10:53:12 +0000 UTCVertical is more about reading and printing I think. Horizontal is more about looking at the pictures
Iskra
2023-09-06 10:48:54 +0000 UTCI have to vote horizontal to go against the modern trend of designing everything for phones

2023-09-06 10:47:13 +0000 UTCa tuff question. but I vote horizontal because I always use a pc monitor and not a smartphone.

2023-09-06 10:43:00 +0000 UTCI feel that more panels can ben shown vertically, so I guess if you have more to show go vertical, and horizontal if there's less background details or text.
