Softpedia Editor's Review for Comic Life
|
makes it easy to share your creations with friends and family via the web and email
Written by Gabriela Vatu on January 4th, 2013
Ever since the 1920’s, comic strips have delighted hundreds of millions of people all over the world. Comic Life is a program that can help you create your own strips on the spot, by using personal photos.
The app comes with a clean interface that enables you to easily choose one of the available themed templates. These are filed under several categories, such as “Creative”, “Education”, “How To” and “Life Stories”. Additionally, blank templates are available.
After you’ve settled for a theme, you can start creating the comic. There are various templates and panel layouts available to choose from. These come in several styles, depending on the decade they were most used in or on the comic style. Conceptual formats and maps can also be found in the list.
All images from the computer are accessible through a small folder explorer on the interface. Alternatively, you can take new photos with the help of the webcam. Adding them to the comic is easy and only requires that you drag them to the correct box.
The software comes packed with several speech balloon and caption formats. Some text editing options are also available. Thus, you can select the font, emphasis, size, color and alignment.
Also, you can add as many pages to the comic as you want. Each of them can have a different template; page numbers can easily be added.
The bottom line is that Comic Life is a nice app that can help you create great-looking comic strips in just a few steps. Inexperienced users should find this program easy to work with, despite the fact that discovering everything it has to offer might take some time.
