Comic Life and Slideshows

You can make slideshows of comic pages in comic life. Before you start turn the page to horizontal. Go to File - Page Format, click on Landscape.

If this Library is not showing then click on the drop down menu and select Built in basic.

Click on the 'One' template and drag and drop on the page.

Drag your Photo in and add your text bubbles, headings and narrative text.

Add more pages with either 'One' template or with a template that has 2 or 3 spaces on it.

Once you have completed all your pages and saved them, then export them as individual jpegs. Go to File - Export - Export to Images.

The individual pages will be exported as separate jpegs.

These can now be imported into Photo Story, MovieMaker, Keynote or PowerPoint. Add music and you have a comic slideshow.

Experiment with a multitude of online and offline applications that cater for the different intelligences.

A note about this blog

A lot of the tutorials created by me in this blog are uploaded from scribd.com If you cannot see them (just a blank white box) then you either need to update your flash and Java or the site is being blocked. Please ask your System Administrator to unblock the site.

It has come to my attention that Watchdog blocks scribd.com and will continue to block this site as it has easy access to inappropriate images. I have contacted the creators of 'Scribd' and have asked them to consider creating an educational site separate to their main one, and they have replied back to me suggesting that it would be a good idea. Fingers crossed! In the meantime I will reformat my tutorials in this blog in either Slideshare or Slideboom so that they can be accessed in schools. You will be able to access Scribd on your home computer.
