The idea that Scott McCloud presents in this chapter about closure is very interesting, and i feel that it not only applies to the comic but to all of life in general. I think its cool though how he has singled it out in terms of how readers fill in the gaps between panels inside of a comic, and thus the saying "less is more" truely comes to life. By allowing viewers to use their imaginations, stories become, in a sense, more realistic and interactive and ultimately more effective as a form of entertainment and story telling.
For me as a graphic designer, closure takes on the same meaning as those i have adopted in my previous training. There are times when designing when we use Gestalt principles such as closure in creating effective logos and graphics.
The above picture is a prime example of how a designer can incorporate closure into his/her folio creative techniques.
