ComicMaster

        Like Flip book, I rated ComicMaster in four categories. One of the categories I rated ComicMaster was the background. i rated it a 10 because in comic master  they have a lot of back rounds u can choose from and it saves you all the work from starting off of no where from having a full background layout. It a 10 because it help you on laying it out and has different comic strips you can choose from to make your book different and make it look better for the kids to learn from. 
       Another  category i rated was characters and i gave it a 8. i rated it a 8 because  there are some challenges that come with designing characters on a comic . the challenges are that the only give u the characters they have because Iam guessing their web has limits on what you can do and what u cant do.
Me anthony will get passed all the problems that come my way to teach the kids because iam going to teach them something new when i show the my lesson.
    Text is another category i rated on the rate chart. i rated it a 7 because it will be a challenge to use word they kids will under stay and teach them the lesson right. teaching the lesson mean that each one of theses kids knows what the design cycle and what is use for. i will get passed the challenge and teach the kids what i know to them.
    The finally category I rated was Simplicity .  I rated it a 7 mean it is fairly easy to do. Simplicity means how easy was the project or how hard it is going to be. its a 7 because comic master gives you everything to make the best comic book . They walk you step by step to make sure you get the job done and get a great grade on watever your doing .

     I'm rating it in four different categories and the first one I rated was backgrounds. I rated it a 9 because it was very hard to make but the lay out was very clear on what i was going to do.  its very hard doing a back round one a flip book because it doesn't give you any backgrounds to start on . So you just start from having a plane white background. I think it will come out amazing because i'm going to give it a 100% on my background so it could be clear for the kids.
    Another category I rated was characters and I gave it a 10. I rated it a 10 because I already have my characters in my head and how their going to look and what are there parts are . Its going to be a easy job because I like to design things which will help me get ideas to make my characters more real for the kids. My characters in the flip book will help teach the group of sixth graders what the design cycle is about.
     The second category I rated was text and I rated it a 7. I know its kind of low and I rated it a 7 because its harder to find text to put in the Flipbook that will help the group of sixth graders learn from my lesson.  Its a challenge to put words in the Flipbook that the kids will understand what I'm explaining in the presention. Iam sure i will go through the problem and find the words that will teach the kids what I'm saying in my lesson and they will come out learning what the design cycle is.
      My final category is Simplicity and I rated It a 4 . It was rated as a 4 because Its going to be a  challenge to put my art skill to work on the flip book.  It might be hard to put everything in my flip book that I want because there are limits to what you can do on the flip book because it brings everything you do on the flip book to life . As the strong person Iam , I'm going to go pass all that and make the best lesson for the kids.
    

flip book vs comic book

day two reflection:)

Today I was thinking what i should do for my project , so I wanted to do a comic strip of the step of the design cycle and how we can use them. The first web site I went to was CREATE A STORYBOOK/COMIC STRIP TOOLS because it gave you the option to design your own comic book. It was a good web site because It help you with all the editing in the comic. My second web site I choose was CREATE A FLIPBOOK TOOL. I choose It because It bought your ideas that you drew out to life. so It would be a better idea to keep the kids in to what i'm teaching them.
