Back to the Grind!

TODAY :

*I will be checking your comic ideas one by one.  I want to see that it has substance and that it is developed enough for you to turn it into an actual comic strip using stills. 

*But before I check your ideas I will be showing you exactly how you will be turning these into actual comic strips.  We will be using a FREE program online called Pixton

Here is what your comic must include:
     - 5-6 frames
     - You are telling me a story that has a clear beginning, middle and end.
     - You should have some sort of punch line or that one liner hook idea that will
        make your comic memorable.
     - At least 1 character
     - A background that fits your story
     - A text box in each frame
     - A prop that fits your story somewhere in the comic strip
     - Each frame must show significant motion changes within your characters
     - You need to have different size widths for your panels (at least two different sizes)
     - You need to show very clear expressions in your characters.  Play with the
        expressions mode and make sure they match you comic strip story.
     - You need to have a unique character (meaning it should be different then the
        preset characters that already exist in Pixton)

Now you will each come over to my desk show and type in your email address and show me your comic strip story for approval.

This should be a fun assignment.  Have fun with it and try to come up with a funny or catchy idea to share with the class.
