[Students] EGAD Conference with Scott McCloud

[Joan Lawrence]

EGAD Conference 

Featuring Scott McCloud, 

Author of Understanding Comics, Making Comics, & Reinventing Comics

Commerce, TX - October 26, 2007

In recent years, Scott has given visual lectures on Comics and Technology at
computer events, corporations, universities, museums, film and music
festivals and government organizations. Topics include Comics Storytelling,
Online Comics and most recently, Japanese Comics. Visuals include a cascade
of fast-changing images (using Powerpoint, but just for pictures and
diagrams, rather than the usual sleep-inducing bulleted list) and browser
demos from local files. Scott also hooks up his drawing tablet so that he
can sketch live on-screen when the presentation calls for it. His past
lecture stops include Harvard University, MIT, The Smithsonian, Microsoft,
IBM, and Pixar. For more information on Scott McCloud, visit his website at
www.scottmccloud.com <http://www.scottmccloud.com/> . His visit will include
a book signing.

This event is free for all Texas A&M-Commerce students. Several different
presentations will take place in various rooms on the third floor: Rio
Grande, East Trinity, West Trinity, and Caddo. Scott McCloud's presentation
is 10:00 - 11:30 in the Founders Lounge, followed by a book signing (where
you can buy a signed copy of Scott McCloud's Making Comics), and lunch will
be served at 12:30 - 1:15 in the American Ballroom. Students MUST rsvp to
