Hey all, new to this lovely forum.

I have an online comic that I edit always in photoshop. I normally don't have the text on the art itself, but I'll be changing formats so I'll need to start adding the text.

With that said I know how to create comic speech bubbles, but I need to figure out a good way to create a unique Narration bubble, because the comic is heavily narrated.

Does anyone know I way I can create a narration box/bubble to place text? I need to do this without covering up the art, but unfortunately there's a lot of text.

Thanks in advance.

Photoshop comes with a series of speech bubbles within Shapes. You could also download extra Shapes to supplement the existing Shapes, try Adobe's own site.

If you want a lazy way (who doesn't) try:

www.fontspace.com/category/balloons,talk

You could also create a catalogue of your own shapes from within Photoshop, if you want pointers on how to do this, just shout back.

Welcome to the forum.

P.S: I haven't looked but Blambot fonts used to have some great speech bubbles for download. Oh and as for it not covering up your artwork, I'm afraid that's going to be a lot more difficult.
