Abstract
PRESSER, Alexandra; BRAVIANO, Gilson and CORTE-REAL, Eduardo. Webtoons. A parameter guide for developing webcomics focused on small screen reading. Revista Convergências [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.28, pp.71-82. Epub Nov 31, 2021. ISSN 2184-0180. https://doi.org/10.53681/c1514225187514391s.28.28.
There is a noticeable gap in academic studies between comic books and hypermedia. On the one hand, are found several publications on both printed and digital comic books. On the other hand, are publications aimed at media and technologies for content usability for small screen devices. Therefore, this study focuses on the development of comic books for small screen device reading. A parameter guide for the so-called Webtoons was developed, based on theoretical foundation, observation of webcomics in this style on content platforms, and 3 phases of qualitative field research. The research included interviews with comic artists, comic book professionals, and, seeking successive refinement, the guide's presentation to students as educational material.
