What did you like about your image(s)?
The first image I quite like as it shows the basic shape of the dog by using
only a few different shapes. For the hawk I like how much detail you can
do by creating a shape for the individual feathers on the wings. When
using the mask tool for the other dog I do like the effect you can create my
having textures and colours together.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Next time I spend more time on each mage to make them complete rather
than half done especially the second image which needs more done. I will
also make sure every layer is separate as for the image I ended up merging
most of them which then meant I could not easily edit the single shapes.

What did you like about your image?
I like how the minimal amount of shapes still can show what the subject is
as well as who it is.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Next time I will add more shapes to the second image to make it more
complete and realistic. I will also work on the hair more as it does not
work too well especially on big parts of hair so I will need to practice this
effect to make it look better.

What did you like about your image?
For this image I used a minimalist approach by using the colours from the
original image as well as the movie title to then colourise the image to
those three colours.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to do this again I would do more research into the movie and
maybe add more to the image and I will also do more to the text as it looks
a bit plain compared to the rest of the image.

13.
What did you like about your image?
I like how you can see how different effects alter text so in the future I can
already know what each effect looks like.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would spend more time doing using each setting to give an example of
each individual ones rather than combined uses.

18.
What did you like about your image?
I like how the use of the threshold tool can help make the image
look more impressive.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Next time I will find different images which will make the effect look
better and work more as I think the ones I have used do not suit the effect
apart from the second to last one.
Evaluation
20.
What did you like about your image?
I like how the effect in the images work well as you can still see what the
image shows even though the effect is very strong. Especially for the fifth
image as you can clearly see his eyes and I wanted to have it so you can see the
character focusing onto the key.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Next time I will take better photos as some included lots of noise which could
mean that the effect may not have worked as well. This could have been due to
the lighting in the corridor where most of the photos taken so next time I will
try shoot in better lit areas as well as make sure the camera settings are correct
as I shot in RAW which meant I can edit the image to make sure the exposure
is correct but when I took ark image which I thought would fix like said ended
up having noise in the dark areas which effected the colour of that area once
the effect was applied.

23.
What did you like about your image?
I like being able to add texture to an image by being able to apply pressure to the pencil.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I were to do this again I would trace the image and/or spend more time to get the
right proportions.
Evaluation
25.
What did you like about your image?
I like how the use of a few different shapes and colours can create a
recognizable scene.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I will add more detail to the image including more definition to the trees
as well as the path and sky.

Story Overview
(Provide an outline of your story)
I will follow the same outline of The Tortoise and the Hare however I will only
really be changes the characters to cars and then have the Land Rover tow the
B.V to the finish line due to it crashing from going to fast so that the story
shows how rushing can cause problems and to help people even if they do not
help you first.

Deadline
22/4/16
Audience
(Think about who you are targeting as your audience. Consider age, gender,
class, location and other characteristics which could define your audience.)
The age for this book will be 3+ up so that they can have a more clear
understanding on what is happening in each seen. Furthermore the book
will include cars so children who like cars as well as the parents can use this
to show them different cars.
Production Methods
(Explain the methods you are going to use to produce your pages. Show us
the thinking behind your decisions for a more detail response)
I will use real images which I will then rotoscope to make the graphics
original and have a certain style. The text will be placed in the white space of
the image which can be the sky or the desert floor near to the action.
32. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
Well researched well fleshed out idea, very simple
and easy to make and understand. Based on an
already popular book therefore it has some
credibility as a story.
Maybe having the main characters as actual cars
might not be as appealing to an audience
especially a younger audience as cars don’t have
feelings. Maybe involve more on who’s driving the
cars? Do the cars have personality themselves ?
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
The plot of the story is a good solid idea and has
many similarities to a children's book such as the
simplicity and the moral at the end teaches a
lesson. I love the idea of the car going so fast it
crashes because he was rushing.
Maybe alter the original story more and add more
scenes and maybe new characters or scenes to
make it seem less like the tortoise and the hair and
more like its own original story.
33. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
You have gone into a lot of detail with what your
story is about.
I like the idea of the Tortoise and the Hare being
modernized with cars.
I also like the fact that you have changed the story
in your own way. So instead of the LR cheating
(because the BV would be the obvious winner), the
BV crashes and needs help.
I’m intrigued to find out why the moral of the story is
“help others even if they don’t help you.”
Does the LR need help before the race, but is
ignored by the BV?
-Check your spelling and punctuation.
There’s a few mistakes with the way you spell
certain things, which I understand could’ve been an
accident.
However you don’t use any punctuation at all, apart
from full stops. The beginning of sentences aren’t
capitalized, and the lack of comma’s and adjectives
makes the sentence hard to understand.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
You have used a lot of pictures in your mood board
to illustrate your thought process and what will be
involved in the story.
I like your mind maps because it is clear what the
basis of your story is.
Although it is clear, there is not much detail in your
mind maps. This isn’t a major problem, but it could
be good to add a bit more detail.
34. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
By choosing cars you’ve chosen something that will
engage your audience.
I like that you have related your story back to
Tortoise and the Hare Given a detailed narrative
and I like that it shows contrast between both of the
cars and I like that there is a moral reason for the
story.
Give the cars names so the children will be able to
remember who is who.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
Your story board gives a clear view on what it is
going to be about.
You could have what type of gender that will be
reading this book.
35. Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
From my feedback I have found out that how I have adapted the storyline is
good.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
I agree with how the mind maps are quite vague so I will add more to them to
help show my thought process for each one.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
I agree with most of the feedback but I have chosen not to use people as it will
make it harder to illustrate and will also make the story more busy.
36. There once was a speedy hare who bragged about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, Slow and
Steady, the tortoise, challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.
Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. He looked back at Slow and Steady and cried
out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"
Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."
Slow and Steady walked and walked. He never, ever stopped until he came to the finish line.
The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise, they woke up Hare.
Hare stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was over the line.
After that, Hare always reminded himself, "Don't brag about your lightning pace, for Slow and Steady won the
race!"
