2. Shape Task

3. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
There are a few things that I like with my elephant. The main outline structures a cute, cartoon elephant that fits well with the aim
of this task. The outline is simple and isn’t trying to be too specific, just having a round head and ear’s. However the main part of
my image that I particularly like is the outline and shaping of the head and trunk. It stands out off the rest of the body and having it
made out of just one shaping gives me more space to add smaller details, such as the texture and shaping of the creases of the
trunk. The little detail on the trunk is something I find cute and simple, I believe adding the different sizes of the creases etc brings
out the shaping of the trunk more.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to do this again I would either pick a different animal that is simpler and doesn’t have as much shadowing and detail, such
as a dog or a panda. However if I couldn’t choose another animal I would just choose a different position of the elephants head so
you could see the full body, been able to work with more space and more shaping, making it easier to try and get across the main
structure and details of the animal. This certain position of this elephant gives you a close up of the elephants head, not giving you
much eye space to see the back of the body as its been clouded by shadowing and the head and trunk. The detail I would like to
add it would be the shaping of the ear’s, with the curving and the general idea of the ‘flappiness’ of the ears. However on mine its
showing just a rounded shaping. Another point of detail that I would of added in would be the sharpness of the tusks and the
shadowing over the eyes, adding lines in to shape the eyelids.

5. What do you like about your image?
This is my improved image from the first version of my elephant. I have tried to add and change certain things that I didn’t like from the
earlier version. I really like the elephants ear’s as there is now a different shaping to them. I used a polygonal lasso tool to erase certain
parts of the ear’s, changing the fully rounded ear, to them having a flow. Another part of my image that I like would be the texture that
has been added to the head and the trunk. What this has done has changed the childlike look of it and improved it. Also it has added
shaping around the eye’s, making it look more like an elephant. I blurred the head of the elephant so that the shape edges weren’t as
strong and it softened it down. I also blurred the shadowing so it blended into the body, again taking the sharp lines out and bringing a
softer texture to it.
What would you improve?
I have added the improvements I could to it, however with added knowledge I would like to improve the shadowing around the legs and
the shaping of the back legs, as with the position the elephants standing in the back legs wouldn’t be seen and would blend in with the
two front legs. However I would want people who would see my image be able to tell that they are legs. Another thing would be the
tusks, they would need to be added in however if I were to try and not like them they aren’t really needed as they could be hidden by
the trunk.

What did you like about your image?
I really like the first image as it was simple, but it still has detail added in and it really reflects the structure and looks of a panda.
Using the polygonal lasso tool I created the body as I really wanted to get the right structure and shaping. Using this tool really
helps create better shaping, as using shapes doesn’t help when you want something specific that has different shaping and lines
to it in different area’s. So using this helps you create the shaping you want as you can ‘draw’ round the shaping you want. As its
such a simple animal there are a few things that were simple to do that I’m happy with, such as the patches on the panda’s face.
Even though its such a small thing, it really does add to the face and bring attention to the eyes and shaping of the facial features.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I were to do this again I wouldn’t use any other tools other than the polygonal lasso tool so that you could see the different
versions of the panda that can be created. So I would change the ear’s shaping as I used the shape tool for that, so using that tool
would change the look to be more ‘out of the lines’. I would then do that with the rest of the head as that was done with a different
tool also. I really like the smooth texture of it as it looks more cartoon like, so what I would do would be to change the colours of
the ear’s, showing more of a gradient overlay, going from black to white.

9. Text Based

10. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the first image as its showing the use of the different settings that can be used by the tracking and leading and also the
colour range settings. The colour range example is the yellow and blue text, which is the gradient overlay effect, which includes a
backing shadow of green, which was the inner glow, which then makes it stand off the page as its highlighting it but its also
reflecting into the background. The tracking and leading setting helps you bring your text together and apart, changing the spacing
between each letter and word. This is a useful tool as it would help in a variety of different topics, such as a book, it can help you
bring together the text for the older generation but for the younger kids bringing the text apart will help them visually read it better.
The clipping mask tool is the last image, which is showing my name been written with the picture of my favourite band been
inserted inside the text. Once the image had been hidden behind the text I went onto using colour range where I added the stroke
tool which just went round the text with black, just showing that sort of block bubble effect. I also used the drop shadow effect,
which just provides that boldness around the text, which then makes the text stand out more. I really like the clipping mask tool
because it helps make the text more interesting and you are able to project a two in one situation. Using this tool helps provide
you with more space to insert more things in certain situations as sometimes a picture can take up a lot of room, so showing it
through text helps more things be added into whatever it is that you are creating. The second image that is provided is showing
the different transform settings that are on Photoshop. The 1st version of my name is showing distort, skew and perspective been
shown all in one, where as the other two is only showing one setting that is been shown. I like the way all three add the effect of it
been brought off the page, its showing a sense of direction and ways that text can catch the viewers attention. However this tool
isn’t one that I would choose to use first over other ones that are provided, as it doesn’t provide much to work with.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I were to do it again I would look at adding a few more effects from the colour range setting, which really does add to the text that
has been written out. I wouldn’t want to over do it, but just wanting to show what each one can do on different examples. Also I
would use the clipping mask again but with more words, which then will show what it would look like when there is more to be
read.

11. Comic Book

12. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
The cut out filter has enhanced a few quality’s in the image that wouldn’t necessarily be seen if just left to be the original. What I
really like about it is the enhancement on the smoke coming out of his mouth, along with the the shadowing around his facial
features. What that is doing is showing the differences between light and dark and what makes things stand out. Having the
shadowing around his eye’s and then his face to be lit up to be a bright white, that shows a clash which really works with some
images as it makes things stand out more. The way that this has been done is by altering the threshold settings on Photoshop, to
create just a slight shadowing. However adding the screen blend mode added a smoky effect over the image, edging it towards
black and white, not wanting it to be a coloured image. This image really works well as black and white because of his dark
clothing and his pale skin, so his leather jacket has really been made to look glossy, which ‘meshes’ well with his look altogether.
The cut out effect has added lines of a lighter grey into his hair which shows the way its styled and the way it shapes when slicked
back with hair products, this is nice because it shows the structure and layout of his hair.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to do this again I would perhaps do 3 versions, showing what each one looks like changing the shadowing from
light to dark, changing the levels so his whole body changes more into shapes than just having a comic book effect. So
this is showing the different ways one image can look with just changing on effect and the settings with it.

16. Photography

20. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
My four images each show four different type of emotions which are happy, sad, excitement and loneliness. What I like
about each image for each different emotion is that they really do put across that emotion and you can feel the
emotions coming from the images. For example with the lonely emotion he is placed far away, with his body posture
down and crouched over which is showing how lonely he feels but wants to hide it but keeping his head down so his
emotions cant be seen. But then with the sadness emotion the photograph was taken up close so that you can see their
facial expressions and the way both friends are comforting each other through the sad time. So I like that its showing
that you don’t have to be alone to be sad. However with the excitement image its taken from far away which I like as
the full scene is included into the image. Even though its taken from far away I like the fact that you can still see the
excitement bursting through his body causing him to jump with joy, also you can see just how happy he is with the big
smile he is pulling, which is what your eye directly goes to. With the happiness image I like the way he is doing what he
loves which is taking music and doesn’t mind showing that through to the camera for others to see. I also like that he
really is laughing and its not faked for the camera, its showing genuine happiness to be doing something he knows he
is good at and thoroughly loves. In each scene the lighting changes for each mood, but that’s just with the natural
lighting which I like because it just add to the mood of each image.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to take these images again I would change the scene near the bench for sadness, perhaps taking it in a more
darker setting so that the mood is reflecting in the lighting that is surrounding them. I would also perhaps include some
different settings with the camera as the white balance was changed to cloudy due to the weather and then everything
else was set on auto. Except for the excitement image as the shutter speed needed to be changed due to capturing the
jumping.

21. Illustration

22. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
My flower scene is simple, containing one main subject and then two simple daisy’s in the background. What I like about this is
even though there is more than one flower, the daisy’s bring more attention to the lilies as they are smaller and shape around the
main flower, showing the size difference well. Another thing I like is the colour details that have been added to the lilly, the contrast
between the red and the yellow highlighting each other well. Also the little line effects I have added also give the petals some
shape with is good, it showing the curves as it reaches the end indicated the the petals are bending over at the bottom, indicating
that they are perhaps drooping or just have blossomed to fall that way. The colours that have been added onto the daisy’s shows
shading as it starts out a dark pink colour on the end of the petals which soon fades out as it gets closer to the middle, I like this
because it gives it a colour change and shows different techniques, instead of just using one block colour which doesn’t show
much skill.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to do this again I would perhaps draw something that shows off a bit more skill. However if werent able to draw something
that wasn’t better than I would want to change the colours that I have used on the lilly. I would change the yellow to be a light pink,
having a darker pink colour used for the details that are added onto the flower. Then I would change the colour of the daisy’s to
yellow, having the middle changed to a really light orange, which shows really rich colours been shown off indicating that it could
perhaps be summer.

24. Initial Ideas

25. This font is bold and readable with
the added bit of zing with the
sparks at the top of the letters.
This font is very specific and
wouldn’t fit in with both gender’s
as it has a girls touch to it with the
added extra. This font is made for
the front cover, rather than the
main text.
This font fits in well with the theme of
the book as it has animal prints mixed in
with it. The lettering is bold but thin,
having the curl to the letters. The
lettering is easy to read but wouldn’t be
the best font style to pick for such a
young age range as its pushed close
together.
This font is bold and simple, been easy to read and
has links with each letter giving the eye directions to
go from each letter. This font would fit with my age
range as its not over the top and is simple enough for
them to read. However because of that it means that
its not that exciting and gives off a bland theme.
This specific font is simple but elegant

27. Proposal
Dimensions
With my book I will be wanting to produce around 20-22 pages as I am wanting to place my picture scenes on the left hand side
and my text on the right hand side of the book. I want to create a square book that will be big enough to have text that is big
enough to read and also be able to fit a detailed picture scene. The dimension I am wanting to aim for is 21x25 cm.
Story Overview
Goldilocks was walking through the forest when she came across a house that smelled really nice. She was really hungry when
she noticed three bowls of porridge on the table. So she went inside. She tried each one, not liking two of them, however she did
like the third one causing her to eat it all. The first bowl was too hot for her, the second bowl was too cold where as the third bowl
was just right so she ate it all. After all that eating she became tired so went looking for somewhere to sleep. She stumbled
upstairs looking for somewhere to lay down. She found three beds so she tried each one, resulting in her liking the last one. The
robots come home and notice that their porridge has been touched, causing the little robot to be upset as his porridge was gone.
So the robots went upstairs causing them to notice someone had slept in their beds. The baby robot then noticed someone was in
his bed, causing Goldilocks to wake up and run away upset. But she didn’t leave, she just wanted a friend.
The moral of this story is that kids shouldn’t be wandering about alone as you don’t know where they are going to end up, or who
they are going to upset.
Export Format
PDF
Advantages: A PDF file allows multiple pages to be inserted which allows you to go into detail with the book and not worry
about have a small limit of pages. Also a PDF is able to be seen by many devices and software's.
Disadvantages: PDF files are set out to be around A3/4 size where most computers are set to be much smaller, so you are
unable to see the full page as its much bigger than the screen.

28. Deadline
18th of December
Audience
My target audience will be young children around the ages of 5-7 years old. This is the early reader stage meaning there is a
certain level the language has to reach, but not wanting to include hard or detailed words with huge amounts of writing on
each page. My storyline can be for both gender’s, however I wish to target young girls so that the picture details can be bright
and colourful, with the feminine fonts and lettering styles. This book is targeted at English reader’s, as that’s the language it is
going to be printed and written in.
Production Methods
I am wanting to use a variety of techniques so that I can create a book with a childlike effect, having my characters appear as
cartoons. As there are lots of detail I am wanting to include there are a handful of things that I want to do to try create
something to the best of my ability. I am wanting to use shaping and warping for the main body structure of the robots, then
going on to add more human features. However for most of the picture scenes I will be using Rotoscoping as it gives you more
freedom to work with the characters, been able to get the structures right and how you want them. For one of the pages I will
be showing the bowls of porridge and chairs, for this I am wanting to photograph them leading to then Rotoscoping and adding
the child like effect, making it fit in with the theme of the book. Doing this makes it easier to give me a structure to follow. Also
for goldilocks I would like to try and attempt to photograph my little sister as she has long blonde hair and would fit the
description of goldilocks. That gives me a structure to work with so that I can create a good character that has a realistic look
of a human to it.

29. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
I think the proposal has a lot of detailed information
in it, about the techniques that will be used, what
the story line is, what this persons target audience
will be and why they are undertaking these tasks.
Personally I think the story line has way too much
information. As a brief it only needs to be short
telling what the story is about but not in to much
detail as this would give too much away. I think this
would need shortening.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
The text idea generation is great due to the amount
of detail this person has gone in to. This person has
taken in to consideration what the text needs to
look like for the children to be able to read the book
easily e.g. There has been examples of having the
letters too close together which isn’t too good as
children would struggle with this. I thought this was
a great analysis.
The idea generation of the mood board could have
had a little more information on it as there were
only pictures taken from the internet of different
styles of the Goldilocks characters. I think this
person needs to go in to more detail about why
they have chosen these certain images and what
they have in mind to do with them.

30. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
Very detailed on the dimensions so it is easy to
understand what you want for your size of your
book. A lot of detail used for the advantages and
disadvantages of PDF too, very good.
A lot of good reasons used for the target audience
being girls and what age you are making your book
for.
A lot of production methods used too, very good
The story is very much the same as the original,
with very little of your own ideas and own take on it.
This needs to be changed as the story needs to
have some of your own ideas and interpretations in
it.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
A lot of analysing on the text which is very good as
a lot of effort has gone into that as many fonts are
annotated.
There needs to be more detail on the mood board
as there is no text analysing the images on it. So
there is no explanation as to where your inspiration
came from.

31. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
Multiple advantages and disadvantages of the PDF
exporter is cracking, as well as the detail used
throughout the rest of the proposal, too be fair to
you, you have produced a quality proposal,
especially the detail in the audience section, you’ve
also chosen a variety of fonts which could be used
so you can evaluate which one would be best, good
on you .
Explain why you wanted to use a certain page size!
Don’t get slack now, but apart from that no other
quarrels with your proposal, that’s some legit
decent work you got there.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
A range of versions of this story are on show and
the idea to annotate the advantages and
disadvantages of the fonts was legit a cracking
idea.
Not as structured as some ive seen but I suppose I
can let you off as the proposal is top notch, try and
sort it next time, also annotations on the photos you
chose would've been greatly appreciated.

32. Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
My feedback is helpful and provides enough explanation to help me improve my work to bring it up to a great quality and achieve the
best grade possible in this section.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
I agree with the notes made about how I need to write annotations for my mood board going in to describe why I chose the images I
did. I agree with this because I didn’t get round to writing the annotations as I was focusing on looking for different images to put into
the mood board. I also agree with the notes made about my mind map as I didn’t insert it due to complications with it loading.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
I disagree with what was said about my story description as I wrote what the story was about and if things were to be taken out then
there might be a slight confusion with what the main storyline would be.

43. Original Script
http://www.dltk-teach.com/rhymes/goldilocks_story.htm
Once 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.

44. 1st Script

One day she was happily skipping along in the forest.
As she was skipping around, Goldilocks found a house.
“Mmmm this house smells so nice” Goldilocks said.
Goldilocks was very hungry and wanted to go inside. She knocked on the gigantic door but nobody answered her.
She tried the door handle. “Its open” said Goldilocks to herself. She walked in and went looking for food.
Goldilocks went into the kitchen. On the table she found 3 bowls of sweet, steamy porridge.
“I will just try 1 bit of each” said Goldilocks.
She ate a spoonful of the big bowl. “OWWW, that’s too hot” said Goldilocks.
She then tried a spoonful of the medium sized bowl. “Brrrr, too cold” she said.
But then she tried a spoonful of the small bowl. “Yummy, that’s so nice” she said.
She liked it that much, she ate it ALL up!
After all that eating, Goldilocks became really tired and wanted to go to sleep. She went looking in the house for somewhere to have a nap. She
found 3 beds. She tried the first one. “Too hard” huffed Goldilocks.
Then she tried the second one. “Too soft” she whined.
But then she found another bed. “Ahhh sleepy.” it was just right.
Goldilocks fell asleep dreaming of ice cream.
Meanwhile, the robots came home to a shock!
Daddy robot shouted “Who’s been eating my porridge?”
“And mine?” mummy robot asked
“Who’s eaten ALL MINE?” baby robot cried.
The robots walked through the house to find a girl in baby robots bed!
“She is in MY bed” Baby robot cried
Goldilocks suddenly woke up to find three robots staring at her with angry faces. She ran out of the room crying leaving the robots confused.
Goldilocks ran out of the house to find her way back home.
“Wait” baby robot shouted
“Would you like to come inside and play with my toys?” baby robot asked
Goldilocks loved toy’s.
“Yes Please” said Goldilocks
Baby Robot and Goldilocks became the best of friends.
