The Four Color Media Monitor

Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.


Computer software for comic creating

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette talks about a computer program that can teach how to design comic books, including such examples as word balloons:
In order to make any content useful in the creation of a comic book, the program itself comes with a built-in frame grabber. This is a utility that allows you to freeze and save anything you see on the computer screen. Once you have the pictures you want, you can move them into the ready-made comic book templates and add text balloons. The balloons are blank; you fill in the text.

At first this seems like an exercise for kids. Kids can do it — the program is easy to use — but it turns out that businesses and schools have already shown interest. A business can easily make a clever product promotion comic book, and at least one has already begun a training manual in comic book style. A schoolteacher has started using it to make comic books to teach science.
If so, that's good, since it helps to introduce comics in schools where needed!

    Sounds like a great idea. Didn't they use to have comic book training manuals for GIs? Not sure if it was WW2-era or not but I can recall seeing some examples a long time ago.
