Google Drawings Hack -- Comic Strips

Credit for this idea/hack again goes out to Matt Miller and his "Meaningful Tech Workshop". 

Google Drawing Hack -- Photo Comic Strips 
Matt says, "Take photos of students using a webcam and add them to a Google Drawing. Add speech bubbles to the photos. Then save those images and add each one to a different slide in a Google Slides presentation." 
I would add that you could start with an online photo and Google Drawings search makes it easy to find photos for use in projects!

To get started click here (drawings.google.com/create)

Simply click on the photo icon or choose Insert - image. 
Then choose "search" - this will search for photos that are free to use (no worries about copyright). If you were using your own photo - you would choose "upload".
To make it into a comic - add speech or thought bubbles.
You can make as many or as little comic frames as you like -- you can see an example of one I made with four frames below.

In order to make it more of a frame look - I added the outline. To do this make sure that your photo is selected. 

You can see the blue around the photo - showing it is selected.
Click on the line weight icon (see photo) and choose the desired weight (or thickness) of the line. In the example above, 1px was used.

Another tip- 
You can change the size of your page!

I love Google Drawings more and more - with each awesome hack/idea that I find! It is a very under used tool, in my opinion.
Now you have one more way to put it to use!
