Pixton Workshop

Dr. Shutkin

This semester, we have a classroom subscription to Pixton. It’s a powerful and relatively user-friendly app for creating simple or complex comics using characters, scenes, and things, all provided through drop down windows for click or drag.

Everything is highly editable and characters can be moved into almost any pose, lots of gestures and facial expressions! A first step for this project is to familiarize yourself with the Pixton digital comic strip application.

To help you communicate in a comic strip environment, watch this short video. It shares the affordances of comic strips and the basic knowledge to work with them.
