Creating Comics for all ages

We have created an easy guide for you to follow. This is a great project for the whole family to have fun with!

 Guideline
● Each comic is approx. 30 pages long
● Each page has 1-4 images
● Not all images need dialog
● Keep dialog short with action words
● Look at other comic books for reference/IDEAS
● Use worksheet to map out your story line (create a grid that is 5 boxes across and 6 down to map out your story)

Keep in mind as you develop

• Main character/world the live in
• Passion/Paradigm
• Potential threat of passion
• Focus on journey root for them
• Tension in the middle of the story
• Sacrifice they make and victory

  
EXTRA notes

• An introduction paragraph can be used. (see below)
• Time can be extended with “then” or “a few hours later” in a small box at the top of page.
• Make the story so the reader feels connected to the subject.
• How does it RELATE TO their EMOTIONS? WRITE THE EXPRESSION THE CHARACTER IS EXPERIENCING SO  THE ARTIST KNOWS HOW TO CREATE THE IMAGE. PUT NAME OF SPEAKER BEFORE THE DIALOG SCRIPT LINE. MAKE SURE PUNCTUATIONS ARE INCLUDED FOR ARTIST.
