Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
In my image I like the shape of the panda it gives a realistic effect of the animal making
it look more like the image it’s suppose to be. I also like the effect on the eye with a
small white dot to give the eyes a cartoon like gleam.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I were to improve my image if I did it again I would add more of a gradient effect to
the animals body and blur the edges out to create a fur like effect. I would also use a
wider range of shapes instead of just circles to give the image a different effect. I
would add more texture to lift the animal off the page giving it a more realistic and
dimensional look.

Evaluation
In the image the use of highlighting and shading used on the nose and cupids bow to give it a
three dimensional effect adds to the image making his face look lifted. The use of using multiple
similar colours on the lips, face, hair and hat gives it a look of realism and instantly makes the
picture more recognisable. In the second image the contouring on the hand and use of the blur
tool on the palm of the had was effective to create a more realistic looking hand. Another
element that I found effective to use on the second image was the use of highlighting and
shading the nose, rather than doing it as a separate element.
To improve the image next time I would use a wider range of colours in the hair to give it more
highlights and subsequently give the image an even more realistic look. I would also add more
finer details such as facial hair and show the definition in cheekbones and make the jaw line more
prominent. In the future I would add more definition to the face in the second image this would
aid to giving the person in the image more character and make it resemble the original picture.

Evaluation
The three images I created using George Orwell’s first line from the book 1984. I used the
constant colour theme of black and white throughout all three images with accents of dark red
on the last image, I like the effect this has on the quote. I used two slightly different sketched
eyes on two of the images to show how very similar looking images can create a different
interpretation of the quote. The image at the bottom shows a hand coming out of the eye, I like
this image because it gives the sense of and entrapment and the need to escape from the
dystopian world. On the right hand image I like the way the words are structured against the
tower going down it and the strike that goes through the word to emphasise the word.
To improve my photo’s in the future I would experiment with a use of more colour and expand
the style I chose to adapt more images to give different effects on the quote. I would try out a
more complex style along with the simplistic one I have also used to show how different pictures
and styles can effect the way words are read and understood by an audience.

Evaluation
The image of Johnny Depp I created has a grey shadow effect created by using the
threshold effect with cut out underneath and another effect to distort the image
making it look less realistic and more distorted. The darkness of all my images make
them look more evil making them resemble that of a villain in a comic book. On the
top image of Leonardo dicaprio, I used a couple of effects to get the end look and did
not use the threshold tool instead used the halftone pattern to give it an olden
newspaper, comic book style.
If I were to repeat the task I would use a wider range of effects to show how they can
make a character look different and give them a different personality. I would use a
brighter original image to see the effect of how it could change the outcome, due to
the fact all my images created have a dark hue making the comic book style more
mysterious and inherently evil.

Evaluation
In my image of a short narrative comic book, I like the used of camera angles and story
behind it. The use of the smaller door being made to fit into the scene by using the
perspective option to make it look like it’s against the wall.
To make improvements in the future I would have added a cartoon, non-naturalistic
background to each image to allow full creativity with the piece. With a longer period
of time allowed I would also added expressions through cartoon symbols rather than
speech bubble to fit in with the theme. I would of also taken more time in developing
each image to give a professional look.

Evaluation
I like the use of colour and the defined outlines my image has. You can clearly se what
the image is suppose to be and it has a sense of humour about it from the expression
shown on each of their faces. I also like the amount of detail that each outfit has and
the colours used on the princesses dress to give a gradient effect.
I would add more detail into the background of the image to give it more of a setting
and more detail and I would also use brighter colours to give it a more vibrant look. I
would also think about my placement of the words a change the layout of the page
based on that, giving me more room to write my words and making the text moe
legible.

Proposal
Dimensions
In the Children's book there would be a total of ten pages including the front cover, the size of the
book would be 6X9.
Story Overview
The story is an old English rhyme that follows a series of events featuring different animals always
linking back to the previous verses. The story has no structured narrative but shows how the
house is indirectly linked to other things and people. However allows Children reading the story or
listening to in to travel through the book with the rhyme.
It start with the house that jack built then moves on to other animals through the use of linking
one to another, such as a cat chasing a rat then a dog worrying the cat and then a cow who tossed
the dog and so forth until you reach the farmer sowing his corn and in the last stanza links back to
everything that was previously said such as the cat chasing the rat who ate the malt.
Export Format
The exporting format I would use is a JPEG
Advantages: An advantage of a JPEG is the format is universal, therefore it allows a multitude of
people to view the image universally with no specific equipment or program needed.
Disadvantages: A disadvantage of a JPEG however is it’s able to deplete in quality after multiple
edits caused by compression and recompression each time the photo is edited.

Deadline
6th November.
Audience
My Children’s book is mostly targeted at ages 3-6 who learning new phonics and will be able to
identify these rhyming patterns and slowly be able to understand the linking of the verses
throughout the book. The book is aimed at both genders. Due to the book being aimed at
schools rather than parents buying for their children, the book is targeted at a range of social
classes and locations around the UK but specifically in a school environment. The children
would be eager to sit down and read it with the aid of a teacher and through this learn the
rhyming patterns.
Production Methods
To produce my pages I am going to use a mix of hand drawn textures and patterns scanned
into the computer along with rotoscoping to create a more unusual and imaginative effect to
each animal. I will also use a mix of photographed patterns to give a stylised effect.

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
Their target audience is well explained with reasons
behind everything they have chosen. Their
production techniques section is well thought out,
realistic and probably the best techniques chosen
for the style they want.
Exporting the file as a PSD isn’t the best format to
choose as of the large file size. A JPEG would work
better as it is used by everyone and a smaller size.
Creating 12 pages might be a lot of workload in the
time that we have to finish this project, therefore
shortening it may be better to produce a smaller
quantity with better quality images.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
The idea generation is detailed and showing the
contrasting styles is a good idea as it shows the
traditional version and how they are going to
change it which will allow them to be clear on their
task when creating the book. Showing the possible
fonts for both the cover and inside of the book
shows that they have thought out their book very
well.
Their mind map could use some information on
production techniques as not much is mentioned.

The target audience is very detail explaining the
different aspects of the reader.
you could look at hobbies of the people who might
enjoy the story. You could give examples on why
you are using those curtain techniques. The better
export file to use would be jpeg instead of PSD.
further developed?
The images are very well produced and you give a
good description of why you are going to be using
them. It good that you referred back, when using
the text you referred back to one of the images that
you liked.
Your mind map could be improved by adding more
detail to it and adding your other ideas.

The format is understood well and the advantages/
disadvantages are good. The story is
understandable for the most part and the text is
clearly understood well.
You could talk more about the setting of the story
(where abouts it will take place, time period etc.)
and the characters that would be involved in it.
further developed?
The production method is clear to follow and the
target audience is looked at from a variety of
aspects.
You could talk about how you will aim the book at
the target audience with techniques and traits that
you have found from your research.

Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
The target audience I chose is well described and clear to see. Good description into my
ideas and what they entail. Change the exporting format to a JPEG instead of PSD file.
My ideas are clearly explored.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
The exporting file would be better as a JPEG due to the large file size of a PSD and using
a JPEG makes it more accessible to a wider range of people. I agree with the highly and
well though out planning of my book and style i am going to use.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
I do not think the hobbies of the children reading my book is a necessary addition due to
the wide range and saturated amount of primary school children who will be reading it,
so all hobbies and interests will be different except from the fact they enjoy to learn due
to the environment they’re in.
