Scripting Comics In The Classroom
We’ve been having deep thoughts about script writing and education in our offices lately, and I wanted to reach out to our community with them.
Comic Life 3 received a major overhaul on several fronts, including the work flow process, which is what I want to discuss today.

New York Times Comic Life Review!
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of this little publication that’s been around a while, The New York Times. They just put out an article about making your own comics, and guess who is at the top of the heap? That’s right, Comic Life! Yeah, baby!
Here are some excerpts from Kit Eaton’s article, Transforming Your Photos Into Comic Strips:
“Of the comic book apps I’ve used, Comic Life, $5 for an iOS version, has the most features and works best on an iPad because of the bigger screen.”
“Because the app relies on your photos to create stories, you don’t need any drawing skills to get a good result.”
“I love the way the app allows you to edit tiny details, from the shape and style of word bubbles to the size and placement of each story cell.”

Harlem Renaissance and Reluctant Writers
Comic Life is a great tool for helping students who struggle with writing. Comics help to break down the paragraph in to shorter, more approachable, sentences. And having visuals to prompt the writing helps students fill out a full story rather than…
