What did you like about your image?
I really liked the Koala image because it looked a lot more realistic and more life like yet still had the
cartoon look to it. The use of the tones and shading allowed it to have more shape and definition.
What I really about the koala image is that it still looks remotely simple and cartoon like however
theres more factors to it.
As for the fox image I dont like it as much, nevertheless I do still think that the shading of it brings
more definition and I really love the diminutive detail of the eyes, they really draw the image
together and I love how much focus is on the eyes, they create the whole image.

What would you improve if you did it again?

If I was to create these images again there are certain aspects that I would change and improve on.
On the fox image I would spend more time adding detail, things around the nose, whiskers and other
small fraction details that would eventually make the image more realistic and allow a better looking
final result. I would also spend time trying to work on the shading and the body of the fox in
particular as this is my biggest fall down in this end result this time, the bottom part of the image is
really chaotic and almost ruins the rest of the image due to the fact that it is so many different
colours and shapes are involved.
As for the Koala image again I would just make the shading areas and the tones in the image fit
more, change the opacity more instead of it being too low/ too high and would just work around that
more, I would also look at putting more of a background into the image as this would look a lot
better.

Film Quotes

Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
What I like about this image is the artistic look that it has, it has a filter on it which
makes it look like it is made up of shapes and different colours/ tones. This image has a
really monochrome look yet there is a bold colour contrast between this and the bright
red rose on the suit. This contrast looks really bold on the image and really stands out,
which is something that I really enjoy about the image.
I also really like the fonts that I decided to choose, these fonts looked really well
together and work well with the genre of the film and the artistic look of the image.
They do really well in representing the film as a whole and the words of the quote.

What would you improve if you did it again?

If I was to do this again then I would change the positioning of the image and text, I
would do this so that I could see if there was a better way of positioning the text over
the image instead of the text being where it is now. I dont really love how it is currently
on the picture as it is really small and crammed to the side a bit too much so I would try
a different position.
I want to trial other techniques to give the image a different feel and look to it, the
image is very artistic in the sense of it being abstract and made up of what looks like
tones, shapes and shading, so I would try a new technique to give it a different look.

Text Based

Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
Out of all of the text the clipping mask image is definitely my favourite because it is really
professional and bold looking, it really represents things that I enjoy and it has a really nice
vibe to it. I think the font and the bold but closeness almost tight look of the text bunched
together creates a really focused and more proficient look. The clipping mask was really
quick and easy as soon as I got shown how it was done it was something that was just
second nature and the quick and convenient process means that it is something I will
most likely do again- if this is a general clipping mask or clipping mask on text.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to create these text samples again I would do a lot more trialling on the logo texts
these are the two middle bold texts that are weird colours. I didnt really know what to do
with these texts and I was just experimenting however the end product of these texts
ended up being rather disastrous and tacky looking. If I was to do them again I would pick
a sleek and professional looking style and just edit them a little but then leave the rest of
the it to have a more natural and normal look.
I would also trial more with the distortion texts as some of them had a really nice touch to
them; but the others have a really horrible slant look to them that are really uneasy on the
eye. I much prefer the ones that are lightly edited and have a really sharp and professional
look to them instead of a really extreme edit that is almost overpowering on the eye.

Photo Story

Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I really like the final image the most because it is the one which is the most effective
and is more what I wanted it to look like. I enjoyed making them all individually and
experimenting with different types of edits. For the final image I simply used a black
and white filter and took out all of the under tones so that it was pure black and white
and there were only them two colours contrasting with each other which created a more
comic book style of black and white which fit my style a lot more. I really like the layout
of the images like this with the black and white too as it is more minimal unlike the first
one where all of the images were attached and overlap one another like a comic book.

What would you improve if you did it

again?
If I was to do this again I would experiment with more effects and style of editing, I
would probably try more art comic effects and add overlays and contrasts so that the
images pop more and become more alive on the page. I would also add more of a
cartoon effect on the overlay story board as this would look really comic book like,
trialling with boarders and sharp colours along with some basic comic text would really
add to the final look of the image.

Illustration

Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
What I like about this image is the fact that I have made the character look small
without having to physically draw her too small, the features such as the arms, legs and
basket make the proportion look smaller and make the woman look a lot smaller in size
compared to the oversized clothing (again making her appear small)
I also really like the red and blue colour, they really work together and are a very typical
primary colour combination that are ideal for any kids book.

What would you improve if you did it again?

If I was to do this illustration again I would try make the face look more cartoon like and
have more emotion/ expression , the face that I drew is very basic and just shows the
minimal features which I want but I feel like the face isnt quite cartoon like and it
doesnt really have a good proportion to it.
I would also try and draw the coat differently and add more originality to the image seen
so I copied a lot of it from another image.
As for the drawing itself I would try and go around the image in a black marker and
colour it in with ink pen to really made the image more graphic and cartoon like.

arrative Environment

Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I really liked this image because of the really bright and colourful appearance, the contrast between all of
the bright colours looks really appealing but there is constantly the contrast between the bright red
mushrooms and the rest of the image, the rainbow really radiates the colours and makes them all pop and
contrast together. The bright colours in the top half of the image distinction and work against the more block
colours in the bottom half of the image which makes the bright colours stand out more.
I really liked using the shape and warping technique that I used on this piece of work, it allowed me to have
a clean and sharp look on the image and also allowed me to create a lot more shapes to fit to the image.
This technique really allowed me to complete the whole image in one method, meaning it had a flowing and
strong final look.
Another aspect of this image that I liked is patterns that I used using a clipping mask, this is something that
adds texture and definition to the image in a diplomatic manner, meaning that it doesnt take the whole
focus away from the image and allows the main attention to still be on the main concept of the image.

What would you improve if you did it again?

If I was to create this image again I would try create the hill field in one shape with warping instead of
using a range of shapes to build on top of each other, this will allow the file to be a lot smaller as
there isnt as many unnecessary layers and it would also mean that it wouldnt take as long to create.
I would also try using a black border around all of the different parts of the image as this would give it
more depth and definition, this is something I would try if I was to do it again.
I would also try add other things to the image to see if anything else could work however I wouldnt
want to make the image too overcrowded.

Story Overview
The story is about a woman who is really small. The book starts by going into detail about her size, it is
like a introduction to the characters very small life. After this the book continues and the woman decides
to go on a walk where she just happens to stumble upon a gate which she then opens. The gate leads to
a churchyard and she finds a bone on a grave. She goes to the grave and gets the bone as she said it
would make some soup for her supper, so she picks up the bone, puts it in her pocket and goes home
when she gets home she goes to bed because she is tired so she puts the bone in a cupboard and goes
to sleep. She wakes up to the sound of a voice which is saying Give me my bone so she hides then
goes back to sleep. The voice gets louder but again she hides and goes to sleep until the third time in
which the voice was louder so she shouts take it
The book has a horror style aspect with the idea of ghosts and the dead but it is almost sugar coated and
hidden behind really sweet and innocent teeny-tiny talk

Production Methods
During the brainstorming of the production I didnt really know which style I
wanted to create the image of the book, but now I know that I want to
create the characters and the landscapes by using shapes and warping
which means that I will get more of a cartoon look. I really like the simple
and minimal look on childrens books and the best way that this can be
achieved is by making the characters out of shapes and warping them into
shape. Again for the back grounds and all of the minor details in the images
I want to be able to make these out of shapes so that I can have the really
simple cartoon look. Shapes allow really blocked bold colours that can
contrast and work together to build up and create a really bright and
friendly
looking appearance.
Audience
My target audience is children between the ages of 3-6 and is going to be a gender
neutral book. This means that the book will need to have a really friendly and eye
catching cover that will catch the attention and the audience of this age range.
Children would be the general target audience however their parents will be the ones
who buy the book and even read it to them so the other factors will more be effected
by the adults.
I want to aim my book at a reasonable price so that it can be more targeted at middle
and lower class, this would mean that there was a wider spread on the audience. The
price is something that would effect the parents choice when buying the book
meaning that it will need full consideration before deciding.

What are the strengths of the proposal?

What areas of the proposal need further work?

The idea behind the story is very clearly shown.

The proposal is detailed and all the information is
included. The ideas used with the audience are
very detailed it shows how much the book will be,
which is a good touch to add in.

Could look at ways to encourage the target

audience. Why else will they want to buy it? Does
the book have to have a horror aspect to it when
the age range is 3-6?

What are the strengths of the idea generation?

What areas of idea generation could have been

further developed?

All the stories have been looked at and well

analysed. How the stories will be made in
production has been thought about and it has been
well planned ahead. The mood board gives a wide
variety of images for the book.

Could have taken more things that have been

learned and used them to pick a story. The mind
map could of used more detail, what are the type of
clothing the characters wear in this book? And how
dark or light will the pages be depending on where
the main character is, like in a dark room or if they
are outside in the sun?

What are the strengths of the proposal?

What areas of the proposal need further work?

I like how youve summed up an 8-page book in

a brief overview through one paragraph. It gives
me a basic idea of what the story is about.
You have all the necessary details for
describing your target audience.

Try adding a few more advantages and

disadvantages about the file type you have
chosen.
For the Production Techniques, try and name
some of the techniques weve learnt in lesson,
E.g. Rotoscoping.
I dont think you need to add that last
paragraph into the story overview because you
start to talk about the books style when really,
you should just be focusing on overviewing the
story alone.

What are the strengths of the idea generation?

What areas of idea generation could have been

further developed?

I love how you brought up aspects you both like

and dislike about each story in your generation.
Interesting choices of stories: I havent heard of
a single one you put on your generation but
thats what I like about it. It shows how nonclichd your choices are.

Maybe add a few more stories into your

generation so that it shows you have a creative
mind full of many ideas for your project.

Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
My feedback was very varied but at the same time there were some points that
were said in each set of feedback. The feedback was very beneficial in the long
run as it allowed me to see what people thought about my work and what I
could do to improve on my work even more. A lot of the feedback was
something that I really agreed with after the points were made.

Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?

You could look at ways to encourage the target audience I agree with this point because I feel like
the book and product needs to engage more with the target audience. With this feedback I will know that
I need to look closer into the target audience (Using YouGov) and from there I will be able to encourage
and interact with the audience more.
The mind map could have used more detail I agree with this point as I feel like I really lacked some
detail on the mind-map and I could have gone into so much more detail and got more of my ideas down
which would create a better understanding for my work. I definitely missed some key points out of the
mind map.
Interesting choices of stories: I havent heard of a single one you put on your generation but
thats what I like about it. It shows how non-clichd your choices are. this is something that I
agree with because I have a range of really unique stories that are not like the traditional tales which is
something that is really key to my idea development, I really like originality and that is something I really
have to find to make the most of my creativity.

Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?

Maybe add a few more stories into your generation so that it shows you have a creative mind
full of many ideas for your project. I disagree with this part of the feedback because if I add anymore
stories then there would be way too many, when reading the stories and researching different tales I
only included the ones that I found were most interesting and the ones I loved the most. However I
should maybe expand on my research.

Teeny-Tiny
htmupon a time there was a teeny-tiny woman who lived in a teeny-tiny house in a teeny-tiny village. Now, one day
ONCE

this teeny-tiny woman put on her teeny-tiny bonnet, and went out of her teeny-tiny house to take a teeny-tiny walk. And
when this teeny-tiny woman had gone a teeny-tiny way, she came to a teeny-tiny gate; so the teeny-tiny woman opened
the teeny-tiny gate, and went into a teeny-tiny churchyard. And when this teeny-tiny woman had got into the teeny-tiny
churchyard, she saw a teeny-tiny bone on a teeny-tiny grave, and the teeny-tiny woman said to her teeny-tiny self, 'This
teeny-tiny bone will make me some teeny-tiny soup for my teeny-tiny supper.' So the teeny-tiny woman put the teenytiny bone into her teeny-tiny pocket, and went home to her teeny-tiny house.
Now, when the teeny-tiny woman got home to her teeny-tiny house, she was a teeny-tiny bit tired; so she went up her
teeny-tiny stairs to her teeny-tiny bed, and put the teeny-tiny bone into a teeny-tiny cupboard. And when this teeny-tiny
woman had been to sleep a teeny-tiny time, she was awakened by a teeny-tiny voice from the teeny-tiny cupboard,
which said:

'Give me my bone!'

And this teeny-tiny woman was a teeny-tiny frightened, so she hid her teeny-tiny head under the teeny-tiny clothes and
went to sleep again. And when she had been to sleep again a teeny-tiny time, the teeny-tiny voice again cried out from
the teeny-tiny cupboard a teeny-tiny louder,

'Give me my bone!'

This made the teeny-tiny woman a teeny-tiny more frightened, so she hid her teeny-tiny head a teeny-tiny further under
the teeny-tiny clothes. And when the teeny-tiny woman had been to sleep again a teeny-tiny time, the teeny-tiny voice
from the teeny-tiny cupboard said again a teeny-tiny louder,

'Give me my bone!'

And this teeny-tiny woman was a teeny-tiny bit more frightened, but she put her teeny-tiny head out of the teeny tiny
clothes, and said in her loudest teeny-tiny voice, 'TAKE IT!'

I ended up changing my ideas half way
through the testing pages and flat plans
because I wanted to create something
that was a style that I personally like, can
create and is interesting. I have drawn
psychedelic images in the past and I am
very familiar with the style so I decided to
then make my book illustration based
around this originality and style. I feel like
using this is a really unique style meaning
that it has a lot more to give

I was looking for potential font ideas and
just finding a range of different fonts that
would be child friendly and suit a children's
book.
The fonts I found are all very child friendly
and however for a book text the best one
out of these will be the Hobby Horse NF
which is a very clear and very vector
looking font that could be easily spaced out
and something that a child could read.
