I wrote my first story sometime, early on, in grade school. I distinctly remember the teacher having us kids choose pictures (photos cut from magazines)from out of a box and told to make up a story from it. After a quick rummaging, I selected one of what I later deduced was a parade of the Buckingham Palace Guards. In my story, these guards were the last soldiers and final defense of the castle (Buckingham) against invading barbarians. The only detail of the writing I recall was the use of 'rat-at-at-at-ats' to describe the sound of machine gun fire.

I keep it simple. One stark image overlaid with fonts clean and clear enough to be easily read. And having no knowledge of how to do it myself, I pay someone who does.
