So, many have wondered over the years on how best to go about creating a Diostory layout. I have seen many over the years, from photoshop layout comic style, to panels layed out on a page one above the other to one picture per page. With one not really "Better" then the other, I perfer to read my stories in a comic book format. There are a few different programs out that will help you take your photos and create them in comic format. I have used both Comic Book Creater and now Comic Life. While both are great little programs, I have found myself using Comic Life from Plasq a lot lately. A very simple program to use, I put the Joelanta comic together in about 5 minutes earlier to show what can be done with the program. You simply pick a template, Drag the photo in from your folder, and add the balloons that you want. No fancy features here but a very simple program none the less. The program is fairly cheap at $25 or $30 depending on if you want the deluxe version or not. This is the program that I am currently using to put together my first full length Dio Story that I hope to premier in the next few weeks. One last note, this program is fully compatible with Windows 7 as well as a Mac version being available. I even used this to storyboard the Joe and Smiley movie released at last years Joelanta event.
