Shape Task

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I like how bright and colourful I have made my animals. I like the shapes I have created to design these animals. My favourite animal I made was the panda this is because I added a glow effect and it looks like a hypnosis panda.

What would you improve if you did it again?To improve I would make the first image look cuter and more furry to make it look more eye-catching and a bit more realistic. I would also improve the sand hills in the background because they don’t look very accurate and I think they should be the same

colour as the sand in the foreground.

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?I liked the inner shadows I used to make the walls and floor look realistic. I also like the 3D I added it adds depth to the background and it makes it more interesting then a 2D room. I like the colour gradients I used on the window to make It look more like a window and it not just a one colour rectangle.

What would you improve if you did it again?Next time I would add more objects to make the rooms look more exciting because there isn't much going on in them and that makes it quite boring.

Rotoscope

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I really like this image because I think I did really well making it look like Walter white off of breaking bad. I also like the breaking bad title I made, this is because it looks almost exactly like the proper title of breaking bad. I really like the smoke effect in the background because it brings out Walter's suit and head. I also like how I have made It so you can look through the lenses and see his eyes. I have made the wrinkles look as accurate as possible so you have a good indication that it is Walter white. The shadows bring out his nose and the way its actually shaped and I really like that because it adds realism.

What would you improve if you did it again? To improve I would add more shadow to his face and a few more wrinkles

Narrative Environment

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?i like the 3D i added it adds depth and it makes the picture way more interesting. i also like that gradients i used on the window, as it makes i look more like a window then just using one colour. i used inner shadows on the walls and floor to make it look more realistic. Rooms normally have darker corners so I included that into my background.

What would you improve if you did it again?i would add more objects to the images to make it look more interesting, for example i would and a bed to the bedroom I did or add cupboard.

Text Based

EvaluationWhat did you like about your image?i like the picture i put in the text instead of a colour, it makes the text more interesting. i like the word ‘bang’ i did. This is because i rasterized it and warped it to make it look like it's going to go bang. i also used a red font to symbolise danger.

What would you improve if you did it again?i don't think there is anything that needs improving.

Comic Book

illustration

Things i like about the illustration.

Things that need to be improved.Next time I would add colour to my cartoon character to make the character more eye catching for children.

I like this cartoon character i drew because it looks appealing to young children more aimed at girls as she is wearing a dress and has styled hair and long eyelashes

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I like the effects i put onto the picture it made superman look like he was drawn in a comic book. i also like how the effects made the environment look like a cartoon world.

What would you improve if you did it again?Next time I would make the text stand out more. I would do this placing it into a speech bubble to make it look more like an extract from a comic book.

Photo Story

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I really like this photo story because it looks a lot like a comic book. I like the way I positioned my images and the borders around them. I also like the key I PhotoShopped into the photos. To do this I got a picture of a key from the internet and i scaled it down to a smaller size using the transform tool. Another thing I like is the door that my friend falls into, i think it's very comical. I like the text ‘aaaahhhhhh’ and the shape of the picture on the last page of my photo story. To do both of these things I had to rasterize, transform and warp. I like it, it adds a very cool effect and it's very eye-catching as it looks like the vortex is sucking the other photos in.

What would you improve if you did it again?I don't think there needs to be any improvements.

Illustration

Evaluation

What did you like about your image?I really like this image because I added a picture of blood on the text to make it look as gory as the image. I also made the text big and bold because it's quite a violent film and i didn't want a pretty font. I took a picture from the internet of the main character, I got an image of blood and I put a layer of blood over his face to make the photo more interesting. I did this by making the blood transparent so you can still see the character.

What would you improve if you did it again?next time I would add some blood splatters on the white background to make it look for eye-catching and gory.

Export FormatJPEG

Advantages: compresses images so the file size is reduced.

Disadvantages: when you compress the images they can lose quality.

Deadline

15th of January 2016

Audience

My audience will be 4-7 years. It will also be unisex (for girls and boys) I will be selling my books to anyone and I will be selling them online.

Production Methods

To produce my pages I will be using Photoshop. This is because I can create my illustrations in high quality and I be as creative as possible. I will be building my characters from scratch using the shape tool and the polygon tool. I will Add strokes to my text to make it stand out more and I will also rasterize my text so I can warp it to add an eye catching effect. I will also add drop shadow to my characters to bring them out the page.

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

I think that your story is very imaginative and has a brilliant story, you have told me the size of your book and pages which is good to have an idea of what you want your book to be. It is good that you aren’t targeting a single audience so every one can enjoy your book and you will have a wider audience.

Using JPEG might be a bad idea as it looses quality over time and might loose some quality in production. Say what size text you will be using and font.

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

I think your idea generation is very fleshed out and has given me many ideas of what your main characters are and what they look like.

I don’t get were you got you inspiration from and I don’t understand on how you came to this conclusion.

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

I feel that your strengths is that you have produced a story which has never being done before, as the you used the media stereotypes names to make your characters this gives humour.

Personally I wouldn't of used JPEG has you like be doing a lot of post-production and saving of the images this makes the quality of the JPEG poor over time as you will constantly manipulating it and saving it into different files.

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

I feel that you have considered many factors and have the generic narrative, i.e. ‘hero saves damsel in distress’ I feel this will be popular with your target audience as they are old enough to under stand more feelings etc.

I feel you should develop the ending, does Pablo save the love of is life? Does the women fall wall in love with the monkey in the end?

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

• Good advantages/disadvantages of your export format.

• Nice level of detail on the production method section.

• Sensible audience.

• Maybe think of some more advantages and disadvantage for your export format; or expand on some of the points you already have.

• Add a few more sentences of the methods that you will use to create your children’s book.

• Be more specific with your demographic and think about the exact type of child that would read your book. This will help you make choices in the creation of your book.

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

• Really nice ideas for the story. Very creative. • Strong character mood boards, helps me

imagine what your story is going to be like.

• Include a mood board for all of the different scenes that are going to be in Pablo Pan. This will help you imagine how everything will look together and will give you ideas for your actual book.

His fairy friend Tinker Bell dusted the children with fairy dust so they could fly.The children were very happy playing there. Suddenly they found themselves surrounded by pirates! They huddled together in fear. “Put your hands by your side. March in a line!” ordered the captain.All the children followed the captain as he led them to an old ship. Tinker Bell was passing through and saw them. She rushed to inform Peter Pan.Peter and Tinker Bell found the children tied to the mast of the ship. They got ready to attack. “Beware!
