Week 11







Assignment: Take the pictures that we created for the comic and place them into comic life. using comic life we were able to add talking bubbles, thought bubbles, and other words or narroration to improve our story.

Craft: Using comic life first we selected a template and dragged the pictures in chronological order into the boxes. Then using the program we were able to add a title, words, thought bubbles, and other things to improve our story and make it look more like a comic. We could add details by changing the color of the background and all of the words that we added. We could also pick the size and shape of the boxes and everything we added. By double clicking on the picture we could adjust the size to focus the viewers eyes. We would also drag the corners of the boxes to change the shape. For the frame I need to add I have to combine the two pictures to show that the dad figured out he forgot the ring. I need to replace the money with a different ring box. I like this picture because it shows his shocked face.

Compostition: I enlarged some of the pictures to cut out some of the background and focus in on some of the details. I could also shape the boxes to draw attention to certain aspects of my pictures. By adding the white quote bubbles or thought bubbles it drew the viewers eyes to them. I need to change the layout so that it is clear to the eye as to which frame comes next. Right now the order of the frames might be confusing to the reader.

Concept: The story is about a boy who wants to get married so he calls his dad to bring him a ring. However, the dad forgets the ring at home so the boy ends up buying a ring-pop and in the end everything works out. I need to add a picture showing that the mom called the dad telling him he forgot it or an encounter between the son and the dad where he realizes he doesn't have it. Right now there is a gap in the story and it is unclear as to how the boy knew that his dad forgot the ring.
