Call for papers:

This one-day symposium welcomes papers, which negotiate the role and use of color in the fields of literature, illustration, graphic storytelling and animation.

The symposium invites abstracts for 20-minute presentations and welcomes proposals on all aspects of color in book illustration, comics (graphic novels) and animation/film in general. Proposals, which relate to the symposium topics in the wider sense will be preferred.

Topics can include, but are not limited to:

-Color and visual storytelling

-Color as a dramatic tool in animation and comics

-Use of color in book illustrations

-The role of color in adaptations for comics and/or animation/film

-Socio-cultural context of color in illustration, animation and comics

-Techniques of coloring in comics and animation

-Comparative studies of digital coloring versus traditional methods

Abstracts should include your name, affiliation, e-mail address, and the title of your proposed paper. Please do also provide a short CV, with a maximum of 300 words as a separate document.


The deadline for submissions is Monday, March 9, 2015. Authors of accepted papers will be notified in the last week of March.

The call is open to all interested scholars, researchers and practitioners. Accepted speakers as well as visitors of the symposium will need to get an accreditation for professionals at the Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film 2015.
