Photo Journals with ndxCards™
A photo journal tells a story. It includes images and narrative to take the reader through a journey. The words and pictures complement each other so that the reader can experience the trip as it were.
Gathering the information:
If you are making a record of your travels, you will be gathering the materials as you travel. Your notes may be from journal entries and the pictures may be from your digital camera, or scanned photographs, maps, brochures etc. If it is a photo journal, you may include pictures from other sources as well. Make a separate note for each fact, picture, journal entry or quotation you might want to use. This allows you to restructure and edit your outline of notes.
 You can use the Picture card that comes with ndxCards™.
Write a journal entry that describes the picture or what you did at the place and use keywords and subjects to help you organize the notes.
Making an outline and organizing notes
ndxCards™ comes with a project feature that helps you create an outline easily. 'Drop' your note cards into this outline and export the contents into your word-processor for a draft of the journal. The exported draft will include the pictures and (if you choose) your journal entry in the right place for you to tell the story. You can easily add or edit topics in the outline and move notes around.
