You choose <strong>either<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Character Design for Comics<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em>For anyone age 12 or above (including mature adults!) who would like to know how to create original, convincing and varied characters, then the Actions Workshop is just the place to be. There are basic fundamentals for creating characters &#8211; whether or not your passion is Shojo, Fantasy, Superhero or Sci-Fi, and this two day workshop will both strongly enlighten plus entertain!<\/em><\/p>\n<div><em><strong>Plot &amp; Script Writing for Comics<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are many forms of writing, and few are as unique as comics. The Captions Workshop will teach and demonstrate essential fundamentals of plot building, story structuring and development of narrative with character dialogue. How to format a professional script is vital knowledge for any writer, as editors and artists require them to relay clear and concise instructions. Suitable for age 12 and above (including mature adults!).<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The programme for the seminar is a whole lot more so you&#8217;ll have to <a href=\"http:\/\/comics-xchange.com\/page.php?id=seminar\" target=\"_blank\">check on their website<\/a> to see which day you&#8217;d like to attend&#8230; OR GO TO BOTH!<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there&#8217;s a <strong>FREE<\/strong> entry to the bazaar where you can go there and buy doujinshi, artwork and cosplay.<\/p>\n<p>The grounds of GAC <em>is<\/em> pretty good for cosplay.
