At the very top of your project you will see a bunch of tools like the one above.
As you can see you can print your comics or even email them to friends, parents, or even teachers if you
wish.
Also you can add new pages to your comic to make it longer by simply clicking new page.
By pushing zoom in or zoom out you can look at your comic in greater detail.
The style button is just for changing the style on the font.
The bigger A and smaller A buttons are to make text bigger or smaller.
The inspector button is a button that allows you to put great detail into your comic.
Then last but not least the colors button and fonts button are simply for the text color and font sizes.
Underneath all the big buttons are the format tools where you can change font
color, size, shadow, bold, underlined, center it, or what ever you choose to make you comic the best.

6. ADDING BALLOONS AND CAPTIONS
• You can also add speech
or thought bubbles as well
to your comic.
• Also you can add the big
lettering for fight scenes or
however you please.

To the bottom right of your screen is where you can get your pictures from either Iphoto, Finder, or you can even use the camera to take your own picture.

For an example I will go to Finder, then I will pick my folder with all my pictures in it.
