Comics & AI: Critical Prompts

Comics & AI: Critical Prompts

The image is a black-and-white illustrated poster promoting an academic event titled "COMICS & AI: Critical Prompts." The illustration style mimics hand-drawn comic art with cross-hatching for shading. Visual Elements: On the left side, a cute cartoon robot is depicted coming out of a laptop screen. The robot has a round head with large black circular eyes and a small antenna on top. It's holding a pencil in one hand as if ready to draw. Around the robot, there are floating icons symbolizing creativity: lightbulbs, stars, and another pencil. On the right side, there is a drawing of a woman with wavy dark hair, wearing a sweater. She is gesturing with one hand and has an expression that suggests she is speaking thoughtfully. Above her is a speech bubble that reads: "A multidisciplinary conference on the future of comics, technology, and creativity." Text Details: The main title is bold and prominent at the top: COMICS & AI: CRITICAL PROMPTS At the bottom, the date and venue are clearly stated: THURSDAY 4 SEPTEMBER 2025 CITY ST GEORGE’S, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON
