Have you ever wanted to create your own comic strip, but you weren’t sure how to get started? Well, look no further than Google Slides!
That’s right, you can use this popular presentation software to create your very own comic strip. In this article, we’ll show you how it’s done.
Step 1: Choose Your Theme
The first step in creating a comic strip on Google Slides is choosing the theme. You’ll want to think about the overall tone and style of your comic strip and choose a theme that fits with that. To do this, simply click on “Theme” in the toolbar at the top of the screen and select one of the available options.
Tip:
If you want to create a custom theme for your comic strip, you can do so by clicking on “Customize” at the bottom of the themes panel.
Step 2: Create Your Panels
Once you have your theme selected, it’s time to start creating your panels. To do this, simply click on “Insert” in the toolbar and select “Shapes.” From there, choose a shape that works for your panel (usually a rectangle or square) and draw it onto your slide.
Tip:
To make sure your panels are all the same size and shape, copy and paste one panel onto multiple slides.
Step 3: Add Your Images
Now that you have your panels created, it’s time to add some images. You can either upload images from your computer or search for images online using Google Images.
To add an image, simply click on “Insert” in the toolbar and select “Image.” From there, choose whether you want to upload an image from your computer or search for one online.
Tip:
To make sure your images fit perfectly within your panels, you can use the “Crop” tool to adjust the size and shape of the image.
Step 4: Add Your Text
No comic strip is complete without some text! To add text to your comic strip, simply click on “Insert” in the toolbar and select “Text box.” From there, draw a text box onto your slide and start typing.
Tip:
To make your text stand out, you can use HTML styling elements like for bold and for underline.
Step 5: Add Your Sound Effects
Finally, no comic strip is complete without some sound effects. To add sound effects to your comic strip, simply click on “Insert” in the toolbar and select “Audio.” From there, choose whether you want to upload an audio file from your computer or search for one online.
Tip:
To make sure your sound effects are timed perfectly with your comic panels, you can use the “Animations” tool to set the timing of each element on the slide.
In Conclusion
And there you have it! With just a few simple steps, you can create your very own comic strip using Google Slides.
