So I just finished my comic life poster and I have to say that this isn't one of my favorite programs. I found myself constantly locking things so I couldn't accidentally bump them and move them or accidentally delete them. Unfortunately for me it took me a while to figure out that you can lock stuff into place so the project took me WAY longer than it should have.
While I don't particularly like this program, I can see it's potential in the classroom setting. I think that this would have been a great way for the fourth graders in our school to recap their recent trip to the fish hatchery. They could show the different stages of dissecting a fish or simply arrange photos from the trip and use it as a tool for a presentation. One of the major advantages to this program is that it will appeal to kids because of its "comic-like" nature. Plus, who doesn't love funky colors and fonts?

This is a very striking poster. I really like they way you used vertical photos in vertical frames to convey a sense of the landscape in Valdez. It makes for a powerful overall theme.
At some point when you have time, I'd like to know more about why you don't particularly like Comic Life. It might help me explain the use of the program more clearly.
