Creating an illustrated diary

You can create an illustrated diary for recording daily events. Adding images is an enjoyable way to make your diary come alive.

A diary is something that you write in every day, so you will probably want to use database software that can also handle images. Alternatively, you could use Web authoring software to format your diary. Try placing a different image on each of the diary's pages. You can also use drawing software to make your own illustrations. Using photos imported from a digital camera may also prove satisfactory.

Create an illustration with drawing software into which you can paste photos of different members of your family. Their images in different scenes can be captured with a digital camera, imported into the PC, and printed. The printout could be pasted in the diary to form a memorable record of the family.
