Comic art effect

While browsing my old snapshot, I realize that everything look the same (at least to my eye). So I thought why not apply some effect on those kind of snapshots. Then I saw an application called Comic Life from Plasq. Basically the application creates comic borders, pages, and some dialogue balloons automatically from their template. All you have to do is just add the photo that you want. The best way to create a set of comic is when you had some series of photo of any even. Be inspired, be creative.

The only thing that it can't do is to change your photo into a comic drawing automatically. Awwwh, otherwise it would be perfect. But no worries, you can rely on some ready made automated photoshop action to do this. If you Google it, lots of photoshop solution out there but the one that I like is this one: The Comic Art Effect, well explained, step by step but the important thing is the free photoshop action.

After i change the photo to the comic look alike, I simply add in a PDF document and upload to Issuu.com. And now I had publish my first online comic, kewl yahh.
