Imagery

The Imagery or choice of presentation for Carols story I feel is what made her story successful. Carol isn’t the first nor the last person to have written a story about their weight loss story. While each story can be very unique and may have some aspects that may not be common to most readers, in the end the story is summed up in one symbol phrase - its a book about weight loss. The actual topic isn’t that captivating especially when its all text. Luckily Carol was able to identify this saturation of weight loss books and decided to create a comic book equivalent of her story. Comics do carry a bit of a niche audience but even the most casual readers are attracted to comic books. The poppy colours, the cartoonish illustrations, limited text and action words always attract people. Its easy to read and follow along, and the visual aids play along with the story. The use of action words and big text is always a classic move in comic books, making movements more dramatic. 

Here is an online collection of comic books. While the genres or stories may be different, they do all relate to the basic fundamentals of typical comic books. Described action with visuals.
