Comic strips can be about anything: weird, normal, mundane, silly. Since you need to provide your own images in Comic Life, look through your old photos. Recreate what happened at an event, like a birthday party, by arranging your photos from it in chronological order. Write in what people actually said as dialogue. Mix up your photos, and see if a fictional story emerges. Rename your friends and family and make an original comic strip.
Did you have a fantastic time at the beach with your cousins, and now it's your aunt's birthday? Document the day in Comic Life and present it to her on her special day. Any special event -- birthday, graduation, wedding -- is a great opportunity to show off your Comic Life skills and give someone a collage or a scrapbook, touched up with your personal photo-editing skills.
A really ambitious project would be to create a comic book. You'll need a plot, characters, and dialogue, plus the photos to bring them to life. Collect pictures from the Internet, from your friends and family, and anywhere else you can find them, and learn to be a savvy photo editor. When you're ready, you'll be able to tell an entire story with photos. You can even make photos look like cartoons or hand-drawn works of art in Comic Life.
Photos are great for wall decorations, so be on the lookout for any you want to adorn your living room or bedroom. If you find one you really love, edit it, add some dialogue or other decorations and print it out as big as you can. Hang it in a clear frame and you've got a professional looking, personal poster.
Sharpen your graphic design skills by creating a newsletter. Choose some photos from a significant event and find a font you think captures the right tone and alternate photos with text boxes describing the event. This is a great way to keep long-distance friends and family up to date with your accomplishments.
