Here are 3 potential narrative environments you could create based on Hansel and Gretel:
[1] The woods at night: Create a dark, foreboding forest setting using ominous tree shapes and shadows. Add a small fire or lantern to show Hansel and Gretel wandering lost in the woods.
[2] Inside the witch's house: Illustrate the interior of the witch's candy-covered house, using bright colors and sweets as decoration. Include the witch lurking or Hansel and Gretel trapped.
[3] Hansel and Gretel find their way home: Depict a lighter scene of Hansel and Gretel emerging from the woods at dawn and seeing their home

What did you like about your image?
In my third and final image I primarily used the ellipsis tool and the square shaped tool
as an accessory to specifically the nose, as my image did not require complex
exposures from the body parts. My original image was a ‘Bear’ The aspects that I
approve of mainly is the differentiation in the colours of the ‘Bear’ specifically through
the nose to the eye sight. I also incorporated the use of the brush to the actual eyes.
Having the setting of 100 percent hardness on the brush and white coloured to give a
glossed look on the eye ball to make it less abstract.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I did not include the use of shadows to manipulate a 3D effect through each of the
properties of the shapes that I have used, for example the nose could have had an
outwards glow or shadow to have the portrayal of a 3D nose to present a more
realistic image. Another segment that I could of improved could have been the use of
the properties of each shape as the original image of the ‘Bear’ has hair, so I could of
manipulate the use of various groupings of hair and use either the quick selection tool
to be quicker or the use of small ellipsis’ to create a more realistic appearance.
5. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
The first image that I have created was through the uses of shaping through the
‘shapes’ tool, I have used a variety of shapes focusing through the simple squares and
ellipsis imagery. These shapes provided my images with accurate outlines of the
original image. When completed I began to add specifics to my image, specifically
through the uses of gradients to give the manipulation of shadows to essentially
provide a 3D outlook. I also provided a bright and vibrant background to further
emphasise the shadows from the uses of the darkened gradient. I further used the
original colours of the original image to present a more realistic outlook of the actual
‘panda’ as I did not want to lead off too abstract.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I produced this image again I would take into more detail through the facial features
mainly like the mouth. Through the mouth I could of presented a facial feature that
would give the image a more realistic feeling as the panda seems to have no mouth in
the image when in the original image it does but the contour of the white to black is
minimal and in this task to make an abstract appearance can be very complex to
approach.

What did you like about your image?
This image that I have edited is only the house that needs concern as I have just
imported a background suffice to the house. The house I have created mainly using
the square tool for the overall outlook of the house seems very abstract. The abstract
tone presents an authority through the windows and doors and how they are not
completely accurate. Also the window frames are accurate in the way of them being
symmetrical which looks pleasing.
What would you improve if you did it again?
What I would do to improve this image however is to spend more time on the
specifics in detail like add cracks of paint for example, or even just simply include more
house properties like a chimney. The other aspect I would of liked to include would
have been the originality of involving the house in my own scenario like the on in the
actually image but my own.
9. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
This image that I have produced is very unique through the uses of the black and
white effect. I really like this property as it produces a larger amount of shadows to
the original image. In my editing process I decided to use the shadows as a major
contrast in the image and in doing so the shadows create great outlines of some of the
facial features leaving with me with no need to include the more realistic feature but
it’s shadow. Also the shadow placement on the nose presents a manipulated 3D effect
giving a more realistic viewing.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Even with the use of the shadow aiding me with the facial features of the image, I
could’ve been able to include eye feature specifically on the right side of the subject.
The shadow does present an eye feature appearance but no actual eye is there so I
could of included the eye to further emphasise the realism of the image. I also
could’ve provided even further realism through the hair feature and actually going
into the properties of that specific aspect and even exposed the creases in the hairline
to give a glossed appearance.
11. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
Like the previous image I have decided to implicate a monochrome outlook to my edit
to prioritise the shadow features. The use of the black and white gives a stronger
contrast in the image creating an intense tonality, specifically through the subject’s’
attire and their suits. Also the use of the lasso tool provided me with a much smoother
outlook of the outer lines of the subjects instead of using the polygonal lasso tool
which usually incorporates a much sketchy and jagged outline. Due to the image
having a monochrome outlook it was much simpler to place the contour of the darker
shades like in the face to create a smooth overlap of shadows .
What would you improve if you did it again?
To improve, like the previous image, I would take into consideration the eye segment
of the subjects to further give a sense of realism. I could’ve also provided the use of
creases through the properties of each segment, specifically in the hair and suits
creating shadows to further develop the more realistic aspect of my edited image.
13. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
This image presented a much more complex production process through the different
shades of red, on the overall body, and black on the shoulders. The contour I have
created is smooth and coincides to the darker shades from the lighter. The head
segment of this image was provided with the most detail I think through the creases of
the mask and how the eyes impact those creases creating different shapes that are
very small to really notice but overall present a more in depth appearance.
What would you improve if you did it again?
What I would of liked to improve would mainly be the chest area of the subject in the
image as it is quite bland and dull through the one shade of red when in the original
image there are many different shades. Furthermore on the chest there is aging and
wear gone through like portraying a grey colour which could of presented more detail
specifically to the chest area of the image. Also the strap on the chest is not very
detailed through the creases so I could’ve introduced a more detailed pattern onto the
strap.
15. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
This image of the joker in the ‘ The Dark Knight’ movie was originally just a plain image
with the joker on the edge of the building but I edited out the buildings to leave a
black background to suffice the dark tone of the ‘Joker’ I also incorporated a more
comic book feel as originally the ‘Joker’ was a comic book character. I used the filter
gallery outlook and chose the use of the ‘conte crayon’ edit to present a smooth more
abstract feel to the image. The use of black and white emphasises the text due to its
contrast.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Due to the ‘The Dark Knight’ movie being so popular and the ‘Joker’ being one of main
topics in the movie he has become a very popular figure. So what I could of done to
introduce a sense of originality was to just include the smile of the joker onto a black
background by using the quick selection or lasso tool. The smile is the main feature
people see of the ‘Joker’ due to the smile being so distinctive. Along with the font it'd
look more mysterious and terrifying.
17. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
This film quote is very simple minded however the simplicity further emphasises the
meaning of the actual film. The use of a flip portrayal of the text further implies the
meaning of the film showing the characters somewhat two personalities. I also used
the text the film present in the posters to reinforce the actual quote.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Due to this image being less complex I would of liked to add more detail to the
features of the swans specifically, for example the eyes or the feathers as I have only
changed the colour and portrayed a more silhouetted image. However adding more
detail to the swans may distract the viewer from the actual meaning of the image or
specifically the quote.
19. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
The image that I have edited came from the movie ‘Fight Club’ like ‘The Dark Knight’
edit the movie is again a very popular movie and the lead actor, ‘Brad Pitt’, was very
popular for the role and is still for this day. I incorporated a filter gallery edit
specifically the comic book effect as ‘Fight Club’ did become a graphic novel after the
movie was released. Originally the image had a background of a shop but I wanted
only the character to be in focus and so I used the quick selection and lasso tool to
exclude it and leave a green background which is very fitting for ‘Fight Club’
What would you improve if you did it again?
Firstly I would take more time to create a much smoother outline, to present the
character in a more secluded portrayal. Also with the background I could of included
blood dripping action to further emphasise a dark and violent tone which the movie
was.
21. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
The text choices are very vast in variety due to the different fonts and even sizes and
spaces provided. Many of the examples I have provided are just the small amount of
different texts that I could use for anything text related. The use of making a hallow
text with a background behind it overlapping the layers. In this case the use of the
sunset presents a brighter outline of the text.
What would you improve if you did it again?
To improve however I would provide much more of the variety through different
genres of movies for example using a more western font.
23. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
The image I chose included very bright imagery, so using the filter gallery method of a
comic book effect was more simple due to the colours presented in the image. I
created two copied layers one with the colour blue and second more brown. Using the
lasso tool I created patches in the image of different colours, all random and sporadic
presenting a more abstract portrayal. I excluded the ‘t-shirt’ of the subject purposely
for the emphasis on the face, as I wanted that to be the main focal point even though
the bright top presents a contrast in the image.
What would you improve if you did it again?
The background of the image was a complication when it came to creating patchy
areas of colour due to it being so jagged. I could of replace the background by using
the quick selection tool and replace with one solid colour to involve the patched
colours in the background.
25. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
This image was again edited through the filter gallery effect, specifically the use of the
cut-out edit which presents a more sketchy and abstract comic portrayal. I adjusted
the sliders to my personal opinion and in doing so I didn’t want to create a ‘too’
abstract image as it would look unrealistic. From this the different shades of colour in
the image created a contour but more sporadically placed contour which in my
opinion looks pleasing.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Like the previous image with the use of patching colours, I could’ve implicated that
effect into this image as the background was much simpler in this image making it
perfect for the effect along side the subject.
27. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
In this image I wanted to create a monochrome image different to the previous two
images to provide more variety. The use of the threshold icon, I converted the image
into black and white and adjusted the image into a neutral position creating a level
balance in tonality. I liked the image as it was but I further developed by again using
the use of the filter gallery and using the drawing aspect to emphasise the different
curvatures and creases in the image which looks intriguing.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I disliked the background in the image but decided to leave in with the image,
however now I wish I altered it in the way where the subject is the main focus. I would
include a more solid background that supports the focus in the subject by using the
quick selection tool to replace.
30. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
In traditional comic book style I wanted to create images that fitted together like a
jigsaw. The idea was intriguing and so I did create the effect to present a sense of
tradition which I liked.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Overall more time could have been implicated firstly to place the different images in
an even manner to show professionalism. Also the actual images have not been edited
to have effects so they are just the plain images which is dull and boring. Also the
shapes of the image could have been provided with a white outline to again show a
sense of professionalism. Originally text was going to fit with each of the images but
there was not enough space so I could of scaled the images down in size to place the
text in with the images.
32. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
For this edition of my photo story I decided to go for a much simpler but effective
outlook. Due to the symmetrical outlook, the phot story looks pleasing to view. Also
the use of an actual edit, specifically the filter gallery (water) edit to portray a more
comic book outlook overall. The use of text has been introduced and again I decided
to implicate a much smoother and symmetrical outlook by placing them accurately
with each image.
What would you improve if you did it again?
However due to the outlook being so simple, it presents a much more dull and generic
viewing so I could have been more original in the outlook specifically instead of the
cliché squared and ordered, giving a more formal outlook. Furthermore I could of
edited each of the images into more depth instead of a simple filter gallery edit, for
example darkening or enlightening certain images to implicate tones and meaning to
each image.
34. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I wanted to create a very abstract image, and I began that with the subject in the
image and the inequality in the body mass. By having a big head compared to a small
body to create the abstract tone to the image. Also the facial features further
emphasised this through the eyes being non-existent and the mouth being so wide
and only a minority amount of teeth. I like this however as it presents fiction in my
personal view.
What would you improve if you did it again?
A lot of focus was put on the illustrating of the subject in the image leaving the
background very minimal in the development stage. I could of further developed the
background to either support the subject in the emphasis of it’s presence or just to
compliment it.
36. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
This narrative environment was created through the uses of shapes only, varying
through squares, and ellipsis’. I wanted to create a countryside viewing, therefore
creating hills and a forest alongside the massive sunset as the background. I like the
use of contour in the hills to present the colour of the sun, also with the sky in the
image to reflect the colour.
What would you improve if you did it again?
However the hills in the image do appear to look out of place as I wanted to make
them smooth with no outlines overlapping each other, making them have a smooth
connection. I could go into the properties of each layer to have a specific colour so
each hill would present as connected. Also the pathway in the image looks too realistic
for the type of imagery I am trying to create. Mainly with use of actual bricks being
involved I could’ve reduced the opacity of that layer to gently fade the bricks in.
38. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
This image that I created had the original idea of a more realistic environment. When
developing I decided to add abstract properties such as minimal detail in the image
like in the windows and no reflections as just one example. The portrayal of a 3D
landscape incorporated with some 2D aspects presents and more unique
environment. Also the use of dull colours presents more maturity in the image.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would of liked to further develop this image by introducing certain subjects such as
people, if I did I would include a more silhouetted outlook of people coinciding with a
2D effect to show an obvious contrast with the 3D segments like the buildings within
the image. Although this environment does present a sense of maturity in the dullness
I would of liked to include some colours, specifically brighter and vibrant colours to
give the image more character and a less intense tone.

Disadvantages: The programing is not universal to all different software's
51. Deadline
February 3rd 2017
Audience
The story that I have chosen is a much more mature children's story due to a much darker and dull tonality
within the story. Also the actual storyline would be too complex for younger years such 3-4 year olds due to
the story being developed more than one line text children story's. I would target my story close to the
older spectrum so for 7 year olds mainly due to the maturity of the story. Due to my lead characters being
both male and female I would target, gender wise, to both genders as this story provides balance through
Hansel the boy and Gretel the girl and them both contributing a large amount to the story. This story is
much more intense and dark compared to other children story’s so children who enjoy the thrill and
mystery of a story would be more inclined to this story to any other. I would aim this specific story to a
higher intellect as it provides an inner meaning within through the actions of Hansel and Gretel
Production Methods
The main source of developing my environments and characters will be done through the uses of
‘rotoscoping’ essentially using an actual image and then presenting them in a more abstract viewing.
However I will not be using real images as a template and just use the ‘lasso’ tool to create shapes of the
surrounding environment. Within my story there are environments like forestry and even exterior and
interior of certain locations which would require in depth detail and the use of ‘rotoscoping’ will provide me
with that detail required to create them. I will also include some use of shapes to aid me in pathways just as
an example as using the ‘lasso’ tool will either leave jagged discrepancies or just the normal lasso would be
too difficult to control for a long period of time. The use of the ‘warp’ tool along side the shapes will help
me create specific environments to my story. Also the use of text and a certain font essential to my story will
be used for the explaining of the story along side the images, as a font not particular to my story would not
look symmetrical to the images I produce.
52. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
You have gone into great detail in the way you are
aiming to create your children’s book. The
descriptions you gave a clear impression of the art
style you are trying to create as well as how you
intend to make it a reality.
The key area in my opinion which needs to be
worked on in regards to the proposal would be the
area about your chosen export format. Currently
although all of the information present is valid, there
isn’t much of the information. Perhaps some
research into the options available could help you
come up with more reasons for and against using
the PDF file type.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
The key strength of the idea generation is the fact
that for each of your possible chosen children’s
tales you created a individual mind map for each
with relevant information and research. You went
into a good amount of detail in the relevant sections
in order to be able to use the mindmap effectively to
recount and find the information later on.
The main area of idea generation that could have
been furthered developed is to perhaps go into
detail about how you are going to convert the
perhaps darker or longer stories into a short
children’s book. Although you have a lot of
information and insight into the tales, this isn’t been
shown currently. If you were to add this I feel it
would improve your idea generation due to the fact
that it shows how you have developed your idea
from the original tale starting point to how you may
possibly be using it for your children’s book.
53. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
The ‘Production method’ section is good, as you
have gone into a lot of detail and clearly explained
what techniques you're going to be using. The
‘Target Audience’ section is also done well, you
have gone into detail about the reasons why you
would and wouldn’t have groups people in your
target audience.
Your ‘Story overview’ is a bit long winded and has
unnecessary details from the story.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
You have gone into a lot of detail on each story idea
you had. You have also made mind maps for each
story idea, which is good because it shows some of
the details you missed out on the written idea
generations.
You have put all the mood board ideas onto one
mood board. You haven’t made multiple mood
board to show different ideas, such as ‘Text ideas’
or ‘Character style’, this makes it more difficult to
tell what ideas you have for what part of the
creating.
54. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
This is really good, you have gone in to lots of
detail about how you will create the settings and the
characters and with what tools you will use. You
also have good detail about the audience and have
explained why you have picked the demographic
you have.
Could maybe write all points in full sentences, for
example the advantages and disadvantages. Also
in them boxes they could be explained in more
depth as its only one word answers and you might
want to explain why they are advantages and
disadvantages.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
Loads of detail is given in the three ideas for the
story, very clearly shows all aspects of the story.
It is all well laid out and easy to understand what
goes with what. Also your mood board shows nicely
the setting and the look of the cabin you want to go
for.
The mood board could have more in it, or be
separated in to different sections, for example
location characters, text and colour schemes. I
don’t see any thing on the mood board for how the
witch looks.
55. Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
The feedback that I have been provided is quite positive and minimal in the constructive
through the work I have produced. The main positives through the proposal and idea
generation is the amount of detail I have provided for each section and the explanation
on why it is the best thing to use for the best outcome.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
I agree with the majority of my feedback and mainly agree with the constructive
feedback I have been presented with. The mood board that I have created is quite
minimal in detail and structure and I have not organised them into separate categories.
To improve I could create mood boards specific to certain segments of my story like
characters and settings for example.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
There is a minimal amount of feedback that I disagree with due to it being very
constructive and has helped me with the improvement of my work. The only part that I
disagree with is the segment of the improvement to my proposal and how the ‘story
overview’ is too much and there doesn’t need to be that much information for that
certain aspect of my proposal.
