The Get Away Comic


Okay, I've done a little more experimenting with Comic Life and the more I use it, the more I like it.  I think this would be a fun way to give a book report.  Another use that comes to mind is a family Christmas card.  I like the abiity with the comic format of taking a larger chunk of material and reducing it to the main elements.  This could be used to explore story structures like plot, characterization, etc.  Or how about some writing pieces, like, how I spent my summer. It almost seems that you could take any traditional writing exercise and turn it into a comic.   My comic is made from photos that we took at the Disney Studios Park.  We watched a movie set production of the robbery, the get away car and the car blowing up.  Pretty cool stuff.  Here it is:

  1. Nice job! This is great. Was it easy to add the additional page? I only played around with it briefly during class last week and haven't added it to my computer at home. (Our computer is old and cranky, so I think I'll have to go in early next week to work on it in the computer lab.)

  2. Adding the second page was pretty straight forward - I think you click new page on the tool bar if I remember correctly. What I don't have down yet is adjusting title characteristics. It's pretty fun to play around with and pretty forgiving (the undo editing is great).
