We use ComicLife. Perhaps the most difficult thing is producing the story boards, the narrative which holds it all together. The next thing is a good store of photos. Most of ours are Creative Commons licensed from Flickr. This takes a lot of time searching but obviously gets easier after you build up a stock. ComicLife is great because it comes with presets of filters. Obviously you could do it yourself in Photoshop but it would take for ever. and it comes with a great range of templates - although we have developed quite a lot of these ourselves. And then it is not so much complex but time consuming - but a lot of fun. I produced a project evaluation report as a cartoon book - it is the first such report I did which I think everyone read! NB. Although ComicLife used to be Mac only there is now a public beta of a PC version available. It is not as hard as it looks Wilfred. We use ComicLife.

But is this not very complex to produce? And I hope Pontydysgu when Adrian has left the building. This is briljant! But is this not very complex to produce?
