Evocative Balloon

A speech balloon that employs evocation via its shape and flow.


Different sounds and volumes can be evoked via the shape of speech bubbles.

Some balloon shapes that evoke tone. Lisa Harald.

This is just one out of many ways in which evocative devices are applied specifically to speech bubbles.

If used creatively, evocative speech bubbles can evoke many more things, from emotions to movement to the personality of the speaker.

Personality, voice and tone are evoked, through colour and lettering and shape bubble style. Sandman, Tom Klein (letterer).
