African Storybook

To create your storybook page-by-page, start with the storybook cover picture.

The picture must be flat on a surface before you take the photograph.

1

Take photographs of pictures inside or outside, wherever the light is good. Check for shadows on the page if there is sun.

Keep your hands still - try to avoid shaking and blurring the photo. (If the camera has anti-shake, check it is switched on.)

2

You can also use artificial light inside, or work next to a window.

Check for shadows if the light is directly above you.

3

Use the crop and zoom tool on the App.

You can crop the picture square, or zoom in on a detail.

4

Type the story text for each page.

5

Remember to save each page!

6

Work in progress.

7

Completed!

The storybook can also be published on the African Storybook website.
