Shape Task

Shape Task

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?In my first image I created a house using shapes suchlike squares, rectangles, triangles and custom shapes. I enjoyed doing this as you could using all there different shape to created what ever shape you wanted for your house. Overall I am pleased with my image because it use lots of different shapes to create a picture that looks like a house. And by using the custom shape tool I was able to use a fence shape for the outside of my house making it look even more realistic. The second image, the penguin I liked that you were able to use the warp tool to be able to changed your shape to fit the size and style you needed it to be. This help the shapes look like a penguin. I also liked how I used different shades of grey to be to shows the different parts off the penguin without it all blending in together. What would you improve if you did it again?If I were able to do it again I would improve the amount of time I spent on each of the photos. For the second image I would spend more time to carefully make sure every detail on the penguin was correct and accurate. I would also spend more time warping my shapes to make sure they were as close to the shape of the animal. In my first image, the house I would make my own fence instead of using the custom shape tool this would show more skill and help me become better at using shapes. I would also start adding in more detail for example tiles on the roof this would make it look more realistic.

Rotoscope

What did you like about your image?I like the colours I have selected in my image because I think they are an accurate skin colour. I also like the lines I have added in her hair by using different shade of yellow to create streaks I believe this adds texture to the hair and makes her look more realistic. I have also used a different shade of the colour I used for her skin to use for the finger nails. This helps them stands out and makes her hands look more realistic then having one colour that’s blends the whole arm and hand together. I have used different pinks for the lips. A medium pink for the lower lip and a darker pink for the upper lip. I have done this so it help the lines of the lips stand out and to add texture to them.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would spend more time on the face adding shadows to the face by using different shades of the same colour to create highlight and low lights as this make the person look more realistic. I would also take my time using the polygon tool to select my person as some of the edges are rough, by spending more time outlining the sections it will look more accurate to the real person as there will be no gaps.

Rotoscope

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?After doing a rotoscope on a person I decide to try recreate a dog. I like the detail on the eye that I have done. I did this by using two different colour of grey to create shadows round he’s eye and putting a small bit of white in the eye helps create a reflection/light in the eye. This helps the dog look more accurate to the real life version. What would you improve if you did it again?I would go back and spend more time outlining the dog as the edges are sharp and does not look as natural as it could. I would also spend more time on the grass adding lines to create texture as this would make it look more realistic.

Film Quotes

Film Quotes

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?In my first film quote I used a online picture. I like the editing I did to the image by changing the image to a cartoon effect this help create a more child fairy tale poster. I also like the effect I did on the letters. I used the gradient effect this made the words colour go from purple to white this helped it stand out from the black and also fits in with the purple women in the poster. In my second film quote I liked how I create my own picture using shapes this make it different to other poster as it is unique. It also allows me to create the exact thing I want. I like how simple the poster is. I have try to create a minimal poster by using something obvious in the film to help people know what the poster it representing.

What would you improve if you did it again?To improve my first image I would go back a rotoscope my image as this would make it look much better and original and be able to to show off more techniques .In my second image I would spend more time on the vines to makes them look more realistic and same on the flowers I would add more to add colour to the image.

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I like the way I have designed my font. Especially the 11th font. I like the gradient tool as this makes the text more interesting as it has a more than one colour mixed together and also I like the warp tool that has been use to create a different shape as this helps it stand out and also you could change the shape to fit round a photo or other object. I also like the 14th text as I was able to put a background of my choice behind the text. I like this because if you were talking about a place you could put the place in the background on the text and it also helps the text stand out and because there are million of image there will also be a variety to chose from so you will not get bored of the same colour.

What would you improve if you did it again?I would improve my text overall by using different colour then just purple to make them look more interesting.

Comic Book

Comic Book

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I like the colours I have used in the image because they are vibrant and stand out against the original colours. I also like the level of the effect I chose as it still gives it a cartoon effect but also you can still see the detail of the face and are able to know who the person is.What would you improve if you did it again?To would add more colours to the picture as there is only two main colours being used, blue and orange. So by adding more colour would make the photo look much better and more interesting.

Planning photo story

Photo Story

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I like the story of my image. I like the mystery in my story and how I have created a well structured story. I like the cartoon effect I have made the image as this make it look more like a comic strip and more like a children's story. The speech/thinking bubbles I added I think really helped bring the story to life and also helped show what was happening and guides you thought it. What would you improve if you did it again?If I were to improve it would add more characters and props in the images to help it tell the story better and to also make it more interesting. I would also try to add more colour into the image as there are very similar.

Illustration

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I like the style in how I drawn my image because I have drawn a very simple cartoon with not much detail as I like the animated look and I think it fits in with children's book a lot more as it simple for kids to understand. I like the colours I have used for the pig because they a very colourful and help that picture stand out.What would you improve if you did it again?I would spend more time with my drawing as I am not a confident drawer and I want to spend time colouring it in better so it does not have patches and also add more to the background to helps the image become for realistic and interesting.

Narrative Environment

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I like the texture of my image. I have used lots of different textures including, wood, brick, planks, wallpaper and stone. I liked how I have use these different materials to create my picture as they add texture to the cartoon and make it look more realistic and to help people understand what the objects are meant to be. I like the gradient tool that I have used on my sky this helps blend two different blue together to create the effect of the sun going down as the sky is getting darker.

What would you improve if you did it again?If I where to go back and improve my image I would add more objects into the background to makes it look better as it is quite simple. I would use more exciting colour such as red to brighten up the background.

Initial Ideas

Cat and the mouse Synopsis- The cat and mouse play together but the cat bites off the mousse tail and for the mouse to get its tail back it has to do a series of tasks this includes getting milk from a cow, getting hay from a farmer , getting meat from a butcher and getting bread from a baker after all of these task he finally gets he's tail back.

Advantages:• The animals/people in the books get

everything they want. • In the end the mouse gets its tail back. • Everyone in the end is happy.

Disadvantage:• The mouse loses its tail.• Has to do lots of tasks for lots of

other animals/people to be able to get its tail back.

Moral: The moral of the story is to be careful who you trust as it can get you into bad situations.

Locations:• Malt-house • Field• Farm• Butchers• Bakers

Characters:• Main character:

Mouse• Cat• Cow• Farmer• Butcher• Baker

This would be a good story to use as its not very long so I would be able to create 8-12 pages. The story does not involve any bad language or scene’s so it suitable for children.

Idea generation The magpies nest

Synopsis- The magpies is the smartest bird and every other bird wanted the magpie to teach the other birds how to build nests as the magpie describes how to build a nest part by part the other birds kept flying away when they have had enough. By the end of the tutorial the bird realized everyone had gone and flew away so the magpie got angry and left and that’s why birds have different nests.

Advantages:• Each bird learnt something from the

magpies teaching and was able to build a nest.

• One bird stayed right till the end

Location:There is a main tree that all the bird come to, to find out how to build nests.

Characters:The characters in this story are:• Magpie• Blackbird• Wise owl• Sparrow • Sterling

This story is good for me to create as it is very short so I would be able to fit it in 8-12 pages. It also has a good structure so would be simple for me to recreate it.

ProposalDimensions

The number of pages my book will be is 10 pages as I believe this is enough to tell the story. The sizes of my pages will be 21x21cm this makes a square shape.

Story OverviewThere are three penguins. The first one is a large size and is the dad. The second one is a medium size and is the mum. The last one is a small size and is the baby. In the story the penguin cook some fish but go for walk to let it cool down meanwhile a explorer comes along and enters the igloo(home) and starts to try each bowl of fish till she finds the right one and does the same for the chairs and the beds.

The penguins explain to her its wrong to eat other peoples food and go into animals house and she cry’s but understands and leaves.

Export Format

My export format will be a PDF file.

Advantages: You can compress them into a small file size to make it easier to send them but still remain control over the level of image quality. Disadvantages: To be able to view a PDF file you must have adobe reader or any other PDF software. This make it hard to access it.

Deadline

We will have till the 3rd of February 2017 to complete the production of our book.

AudienceThe age of my book will be based around 3-7 as it will include pictures and minimal text so the audience can enjoy it more. The gender of my book will be for both boy and girl as the book does not focus on something that is more interesting in a certain gender its very neutral. This I will be good for the parents if they have more than once kid buying a book that’s fits both of them is better than buying two separate ones. The Geodemographic for my book is the UK as the writing will be written in English. Lastly the demographic for my book will lower/middle class and its just a normal picture book and doesn't’t teach anything to the kids and its also would be cheap so would be suitable for lower classes who don’t have as much money as higher class.

Production Methods

In my story I will use shapes a lot to create my animals. To be able to make the shape look like the animal I will use a warp tool to move the shape around so its fits my animal then colour each shape in the right colour of the animal for my case a penguin so I will colour mine in grey. For my explorer I will use rotoscope to make a more accurate copy. I will do this by using the polygon tool to outline my person then after colour each selection in till I have a cartoon figure. I will use clipping mask for my background as it allows you to paste in images and create them into the shape you wanted, this allows you do add texture to the background. Finally I will use text to show what the characters are saying and make the book more fun as the children will be able to read it.

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?

One of the biggest strengths of the proposal is the detail. You have gone into great detail in things such as page numbers and the page dimensions. I like the fact you have taken a well known story and made it your own by using different animals and a different location.

I feel like to further improve your proposal you could go into further detail on what happens to the explorer after the food has been eaten. I feel like since this is a children's book there should be some repercussions for this bad behaviour.

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

A big strength for the idea generation is again the level of detail you have gone into. Within this story you have clearly planned out you locations and characters. You have an idea of what your characters will look like hand you have explored the types of fonts you will use.

I feel like you could further develop the moral of the story as I see from your idea generation that you have a good moral in place I just don’t see it being executed fully within the current plans.

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?Your proposal is very thorough and the amount that you have outlined shows you have a clear vision for your story which is very strong and shown clearly, also the story is very well planned out, you show that you recognise what is going to make up your story and the content of it. Your production methods and audience sections are very expanded and very well done with lots of detail which makes these parts particularly strong. Your identification of a clear audience should help to defined how the book will turn to appeal to that market.

The story end could be worked on more as the story has no moral lesson, the explorer comes into the house and steals everything then makes an escape with no repercussions. This could be expanded further so that the explorer takes some responsibility rather than getting away Scott free.

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

Your idea generation is very strong as you have demonstrated which stories you have chosen, with a very well organised and detailed mind map, the mood boards are very well done and separated and you can see the ideas you want to incorporate into your story. The generation of fonts is particularly strong and you have given yourself the opportunity of using a good font which is suitable for the purpose of the book.

I feel as if you could have improved your idea generation by including some more variety into the mood boards as particularly on the woman mood board you have chosen different types of images that are essentially the same thing each time, you could try and branch out some of your ideas so that you can potentially find a new idea and could incorporate it into your story.

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?

Your proposal is very strong throughout the section and it provides a clear, concise vision of what you want your book to be. The production method is very expanded and very detailed, this is good because you will know exactly what to do for the majority of the rotation. The audience section is very clear and you have provided a clear understanding of your own storyline, and what it is based off of.

I feel like the ending could benefit from some extra thought, the explorer leaves the igloo without being punished for stealing. This would give children the illusion that it is okay to steal and you could steal without any consequences. You could maybe have the explorer taught a lesson instead.

What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been further developed?

A big strength for the idea generation is again the level of detail you have gone into. Within this story you have clearly planned out you locations and characters. You have thought well of the characters and locations.

The mood boards are great and they provide a clear representation of the characters you want to include. Although I feel like there could be a lot more variety in the mood boards, rather than just the penguins.

Feedback SummarySum up your feedback.Add more to the ending as at the moment it shows that the women steals things and getting away with it. The 3 people all said to show the women get punished to show the children its not okay to steal. And this would also help create a moral to the story. Try to have variety in mood bored.

Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?I agree with the feedback about the ending as it shouldn't’t show that stealing is okay, so I am going to add a ending were the explorer is shouted at so the reader knows its not okay to steal because I agree that my story at the moment is setting a bad example and moral.

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

I disagree with the mood bored statements as I have done a mood bored for each character in my story to show them exactly how I want them to look like. I will not be adding more to my story bored as I believe it shows everyone how I want my story and what will be In it.

Original ScriptOnce upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. She went for a walk in the forest. Pretty soon, she came upon a house. She knocked and, when no one answered, she walked right in.

At the table in the kitchen, there were three bowls of porridge. Goldilocks was hungry. She tasted the porridge from the first bowl.

"This porridge is too hot!" she exclaimed.

So, she tasted the porridge from the second bowl.

"This porridge is too cold," she said

So, she tasted the last bowl of porridge.

"Ahhh, this porridge is just right," she said happily and she ate it all up.

After she'd eaten the three bears' breakfasts she decided she was feeling a little tired. So, she walked into the living room where she saw three chairs. Goldilocks sat in the first chair to rest her feet. "This chair is too big!" she exclaimed.

So she sat in the second chair.

"This chair is too big, too!" she whined.

So she tried the last and smallest chair.

"Ahhh, this chair is just right," she sighed. But just as she settled down into the chair to rest, it broke into pieces!

Goldilocks was very tired by this time, so she went upstairs to the bedroom. She lay down in the first bed, but it was too hard. Then she lay in the second bed, but it was too soft. Then she lay down in the third bed and it was just right. Goldilocks fell asleep.

As she was sleeping, the three bears came home.

"Someone's been eating my porridge," growled the Papa bear.

"Someone's been eating my porridge," said the Mama bear.

"Someone's been eating my porridge and they ate it all up!" cried the Baby bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair," growled the Papa bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair," said the Mama bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair and they've broken it all to pieces," cried the Baby bear.

They decided to look around some more and when they got upstairs to the bedroom, Papa bear growled, "Someone's been sleeping in my bed,"

"Someone's been sleeping in my bed, too" said the Mama bear

"Someone's been sleeping in my bed and she's still there!" exclaimed Baby bear.

Just then, Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears. She screamed, "Help!" And she jumped up and ran out of the room. Goldilocks ran down the stairs, opened the door, and ran away into the forest. And she never returned to the home of the three bears.
