Transforming your narrative into a graphic novel
Creating the graphic Novel
After coding your narrative, you will begin the actual graphic novel creation.
STEP ONE: CReating Images
You have FOUR choices for image creation.
1. PHOTOSHOP: Use PicCollage to have some fun with PhotoShop! YOU are the star of your Narrative, so YOU can be the star of your Graphic novel! Using the cutout feature in PicCollage-you will put yourself and other images/objects into pictures. (Like the example) Key things to Remember:
2. Draw on your iPad: Using Sketches School you can draw your images on your device. 3. Hand draw your iPad: Use paper and pencil to draw your graphic novel. Do not add the Comic Elements (speech bubbles, sound efffects, captions) in any of these choices! That will be done in Strip Design. Images Reminders:
4. Import and create images right in Strip Design. |
