Cartoons and Comics

 Cartoons and Comics


Webcomics:

Webcomics range from traditional comic strips and graphic novels to avant garde comics, and cover many genres, styles, and subjects. 

FotoJet:



This is one I didn’t really like. A lot of things I wanted to do only could be done with the premium level. I just did a quick picture with a few speech bubbles. It was easy to make if you had a template. I wanted different pictures but it was hard to find ones that could be put in a same scene. It was harder to work with compared to the other websites available. I did like how it was easy to download the picture without any issues whatsoever. I wished that there were more things available. I don’t think that it would be user-friendly for students.

Pixton:


This comic maker website was my absolute favorite. I loved the different options available throughout the whole process. I like the different characters you can add and how you want to pose in different spots. You can change so much compared to the FotoJet website. One downside to the website is that you have to have the premium account to download the comics. I just took a screenshot when I finished so I could have it for this assignment. I think it would be a great option to look into ordering for a school who is wanting do more things online to have students create different things to show their learning. I think this would be one of the favorite websites for students. I think it was overall user-friendly throughout the process.

Make Belief Comix:


This one was really fun to work on once you could figure out how to create each box. I like how they gave so many options to the whole process. I like how they give you ideas at the bottom to help with ideas and templates when you are stumped with coming up with something to create. I like how they provide more information with how to move around and give little snippets when you are stuck and don’t know what to click they help you out. I think this is a great option for students especially since it is free. 

Make Belief Comix Comic:

Overall:

They were all great options to use and try out. I would use them for different things in the library. I think it  something where I could create different flyers and promotions. I could create a book talk about a story. The list can go on and on. If you have the option to purchase a subscription I would definitely look into Pixton. I love how you can be so creative and make your characters your own with the whole set up. It reminds me a lot of a Bitmoji with all the options that you can add. If you need to stay in the free option I like the Make Belief Comix. It had a ton of things available with it being free.

  1. Hey, Courtney! Great job on your comics. I ended up buying a license for a few of these because I was intrigued by the options and like you, I wasn't happy with the "free" limitations. I was really angry when I couldn't download my first one with Fotojet. Since I plan on using it this year, I just went ahead and purchased a license. I also was most pleased with Pixton. I felt like it was the most user-friendly and it has great options when customizing. I bought a license with this one as well. I wasn't as fond of Comix, but I think the kids will LOVE it! I also wanted to comment on how you have your blog organized. I think it is brilliant! Great work!
