Fahrenheit 451
The graphic novel version of Fahrenheit 451 provides a deeper insight into what the reader could be seeing if it were simple text. The bland colors of grays and blues on most of the pages make the blazing colors of yellow, red and orange that much powerful. Fire on the pages of this book make it almost come to life with blazing intensity. I think that the colors almost set the actual book you're holding on fire because of certain colors. I like how the graphic novel designer, Tim Hamilton, separated panels but connected them with other images in the background. A larger picture, faded behind the real panels meant to be read.

I agree with Julia, by paying attention to the larger picture along with looking over the details significantly adds to the story line of this novel. Looking over the separate panels but connecting them with other images help elaborate and expand the emotion of the story, along with allowing the reader to connect with the characters on a greater level. It was not only important to read the text carefully but to look a the pictures carefully as well.
