Creating the graphic Novel
After coding your narrative, you will begin the actual graphic novel creation using the application, STRIP DESIGNER
|
Key Things to Remember:
- Use your colored suspense story as your guide! This is like your organizer--you should be following this guide when creating the comic.
- Refer back to our Schoology discussion: what should you keep in mind?
- Speech bubbles represent dialogue (things your characters are SAYING OUT LOUD)
- Thought bubbles represent thoughts (things your characters are THINKING)
- Splash page: can be used to enhance piece or share a part of your narrative that wouldn't fit into panels
- Images:
- To search for images on the internet please use: search.creativecommons.org/
- You can also draw your own images and take pictures of them
- You can bring in images from home
When you are done with your graphic novel:
- See a teacher for a peer edit document
- Peer edit with a classmate
- Make any necessary changes
PUBLISHING your GRAPHIC NOVEL
When you are all ready to "publish" your graphic novel, you will be using Book Creator.

Steps to Follow:
1. Save EACH page of your strip design as an IMAGE to your camera roll

2. Open up BOOK CREATOR and create a new book
You may choose portrait or landscape (DO NOT CHOOSE SQUARE)
3. Create a Cover Page
4. Add ONE image per page (each page should be ONE of your Strip Design pages).
5. Size the image so that it takes up the entire page.
6. When you are finished, name your book.
7. We will export together as a class.
