forum on editorial de LoSpazioBianco.it , a review of issue # 250 of Dylan Dog has spawned a discussion on the role of the cartoonist who now around here. There was talk of Bruno Brindisi as a draftsman. An excellent draftsman. Probably, with Roi, the best under the Bonelli.
But who is the designer? Brindisi is a disegantore as meaning "absolute ?
Let me explain. For me, the designer is a versatile artist, capable of arousing strong emotions in the reader with his stroke. The artist is a storyteller for images, free to express themselves as they wish to reach the hearts of those who have the book in his hands.
Gipi is a designer. Hayao Miyazaki is a designer. Daniel Clowes is a cartoonist.
The Italian designers who work for major designers are, they are often just " relegated" to illustrate a story made up by others?
You could feel this in a disparaging or derogatory opinion of the Italian designer, but it is not so assolutamante. A designer is just as good if paying their own pencils to others. I will not even say that the only designer "true" is the writer drawing their stories, because would be very limited.
The question I asked myself, just seeing the beautiful designs of Brindisi, it is only " a designer, although exceptional, if he has to make an album according to precise canons (both screenplay, imposed by the publisher) that limit their artistic talent, in the end it 'reduces' to illustrate a story, rather than draw it? .
a last example, we Julia, another comic book published by Bonelli . Berardi, author, claimed by its designers that the star is always drawn in the same way. This is confirmed by the fact that, if we look at Julia, only a trained eye can distinguish different designs. These designers, rather than "draw" Julia, are not "explaining" Julia?
