Panel layout and lettering are often overlooked but are vital. Panel shapes and arrangements can create visual rhythm and guide the reader's eye. Experiment with unconventional panel layouts to break from the traditional grid. Lettering style (font choice, balloon shapes, placement) should complement the art style. A clean, modern font might suit a minimalist aesthetic, while a more hand-drawn font could enhance a vintage feel. Consistent lettering reinforces the overall aesthetic.
