What did you like about your image?
What I like about the image is the details I put in to the shark,
I generally used a mixture of shapes such as circles and
triangles for the sharks body, teeth and fins. I also like the two
different shades of colour on the sharks body, this really
makes the shark stands out.
I like how the house Image has some texture on the roof, this
makes the house a bit more 3dimmnetional and creates some
shades on the roof.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would improve the house bit more by adding some small
shapes like squares to create bricks so the house has bit of
texture. I would also add some more squares to the windows
so it can then look like the windows have some frames.

Evaluation
I really like how the colour overlay worked really well especially
the webbing and the suit colours. I also really like the gradient
overlay of the spider logo, it really look shiny and 3 dimensional.
I also find the polygon tool was really useful when making this
rotoscoping. I did this by tracing some of the areas I needed and
copy the layer.
I would find a alternative spider-man photo with his mask on as I
did find doing facial features and colour tone quite difficult when
making this rotoscoping. I would also my try improve by adding a
background so it can give the image some more interesting
atmosphere, I could add a city behind him as he is a superhero.

Evaluation
What I like about the Buzz Lightyear quote is that the
rotoscope of the whole character.. I used the lasso tool to go
over the image and duplicate layers to make Buzz look
simpler. I also like the quotes being one part big and second
part small. This make it whole title look fun and creative.
I would add bit more shading to the Buzz Lightyear image by
adding bits of dark grey below his foot and arms. I would also
try adding bit more of his original gadgets on such as his
stickers from his arms. I could try making the “And Beyond”
text a bit bigger and bolder so it makes more clear to read.

Evaluation
I like how the clipping mask worked well, the text
stands out perfectly with the space background
image. I also like how the layers styles I use, the
shadow of my text adds my name in more depth.
I would improve by making my first image text a bit
less close together and add bit more adjustment
such as using the warping tool to control my text
how I want it to look it also gives a Sci Fi theme to it
too.

Evaluation
I love how the second comic book image of Spider-Man makes
him more like graffiti style. It also makes the image simpler and
could make wall art. I also like the third comic book image of
Spider-man, this makes him more pop arty and the mixture of
blue green colours creates a cool alternative design of Spider-
man’s costume.
I would improve the second comic book image to change his
colour adjustment a bit more of higher saturation. I would also
improve the first comic book image of Spider-man as it’s a bit too
dark, I would lighten the threshold so you can see more of
Spider-man’s costume.

Evaluation
What I like about the photo story that is connects well with
plan. I also like some of the image that blurs the background
and focus on the key. I like the whole general idea of the story
which sets something big, it also remind me of a mini horror
film comic.
I would improve this photo story by adding some effects and
colour tones such as using black and white and some bright
and contrast.
I would also maybe retake one of images in a better angle so it
can show a piece of the story a bit better.

Evaluation
I like how I drew the eyes and Spider-man’s webbing
which worked well on his face. It took me a lot of tries but
I am proud of it. I also like the colouring of his suit, his
dark blue and red stands out really well. I also like the
pose he’s in, the drawing makes Spider-man more three
dimensional.
I would add a background behind Spider-man and
probably draw a city behind him. I also would draw the
webbing of his suit more neatly to make it connect with
his face webbing.

Evaluation
What I like about my picture is that I use mixture of shapes like squares,
circle, rectangles to draw pieces of the environment like the sand, the
saloon, cactus and the mountains.
I like how I used the gradient editor tool to gradient the background like
the sky.
I also like how the texture worked I did this by blending the two the
shape and image.
I like the cactus shadow, I did this by going to edit, transform, and skew
which then I can elongate the shadow and move them.
I think what I could improve this image by adding bit more content such
as another western building, so more cactus and adding another layer of
sand to get a 3 dimensional. I could also improve this image by adding a
bit more texture to the building or adding some texture to the cactus
and give it some spikes.

The Moral of the
story is about
respecting
everything

Proposal
Dimensions
10 pages and the page size will be A4, landscape.
Story Overview
The story overview is about a intelligent Chinese scholar who reads his book in a rainy
night. The scholar gets distracted when a fire fly lands on his book. As the scholar takes
the firefly outside, he relies that he has forgotten his morals. The scholar goes back to
his house, puts on his robes and bows. The firefly transform's in to a large dragon and
then flies away. This is meant to represent a be a moral story to respect any creature
even if its small.
Export Format
The Export format will be PDF
Advantages: PDF is very high quality, it cant be altered by another reader and if the
printer doesn't have the chosen font it will still print the font I chose.
Disadvantages: it can’t usually be edited by the reader. If there was a mistake during the
printing process then the printer might not be able to edit it, the original would have to
be edited. This will use up a lot of time.

Deadline
The deadline of the storybook is the 7th of April.
Audience
My target audience is going to be a younger age group of 4 to 7, I find that my story could
relate with the moral of respecting each creature. I find this to be useful so it can influence
kids when they get older to respect things that are small to them. The gender of my audience
is male and female as the story can influence all people even with high or low social class. This
storybook is sort of cultural which would relate to Chinese culture as the story is also set in
China and its part of a Chinese folk tale. The language of the story will be English as the story is
being created in a English country.
Production Methods
For the production method I would want to use a mixture of rotoscoping and shapes tasking. I find using these techniques will becomes
useful and easier when producing my art work for my book. What I like about rotoscoping is that it allows you to transform any image into a
simple cartoon, even transforming a real life photo of a person or an object into a cartoon.
Using rotoscoping I would first use and start with either a magic wand tool or a lasso tool. I then highlight around of an existing image, I
would duplicate the highlighted piece into a separate layer. Then I can experiment the layer by changing the colours. I could change the
colours by double clicking on the layer options. This can give me a few options to add a gradient colour, stroke, shadows or texture, adding
these options can add some depth to the image.
I find shape tasking helps you to create a original images in your own original form unlike rotoscoping as rotoscoping is more copying
somebody's else illustration. Using shape tasking I would select the shape tools, this will give me a option of the different types shapes I can
use. As I am creating a character I would start with a circle, the circle shape is ideal for the round parts of my character body's such as its
face. The shape tool will also have a automatic colour option so it saves time than colouring a image. Once I lay down my shape, I would
then use a warp tool. The warp tool will allow to customise the shape into any from you want.
There are other production options I could use to create my storybook, for example illustration, sketching my story and scanning into the
computer. I personally think rotoscoping and shape tasking is right and appropriate production method to use for this task as its easier to
create and it saves a lot of production time.
The software tool I will use for both these production techniques is Photoshop.

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
One strength of the proposal is the eastern theme
running through it that has strong elements of
respect and honour within it. This would be very
beneficial to the target audience as they are at a
vulnerable age and so teaching them this is
important.
An area of the proposal that could do with further
work is the fact that it’s context in regards to being
set in china with Chinese customs and values may
end up being a little complicated for a child of the
age of 3-6 years.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
A strength of the idea generation is that there is a
consistent theme of morals in it which means there
will be a beneficial message regardless of which
story you choose to do.
Your idea generation could be developed by adding
a bigger variety of themes from different areas of
the world because different places woll have
different kinds of folk tales which talk about different
messages. It would have been nice to see some
involvement of other cultures.

You have a strong sense of who you want you book
to appeal too. It is clearly thought about your
audience and how not only the visual style but also
the theme/message of the book will appeal to them
as well.
You could explain your story overview differently
just make it clearer like you have done with your
overview in your idea generation.
Also you could explain why you have chosen to
make it A4 as opposed to anything smaller.
further developed?
They are highly detailed and not only gave you
broken it down into different sections for characters
and locations you have also included another slide
for the font/text. This overall visually helps to
explain your story.
I like the fact that you have mentioned the moral.
Adding a bit more detail in your writing would just
further emphasise the point that you are trying to
convey visually. More so with the characters and
locations.

You know how you want to produce your book and
how to make your characters. Another strength I
think is that you’ve explained why the book is for
the target audience it is. The fact that you know
why you want the story and what you want it do to
the young children.
I think overall your proposal is good and you
understand what you want to do but I feel as if your
proposal needs more detail espacailly your story as
im not too sure whats happening. But overall the
only thing I think you need to add to your proposal it
detail to help people understand what it is your fully
wanting to accomplish.
further developed?
I feel as if you know what it is your wanting to do
and you have it all in your head. But I feel as if your
strength lies more with your mood boards as you’ve
got a good range of photos to help you and a good
range of fonts that you can end up using.
Yet again I feel like you need to go into more detail
so that we can understand more of what it is your
wanting to accomplish. As you havent got into a
large range of detail of what your wanting to do and
what really happens in the story.

Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
I have some really positive and supportive feedback that I agree and disagree with my
work. They some parts that I could add some improvements to my proposal but are
parts that I don’t need to add any more details to my work such as the idea generation.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
I agree that my idea generation is highly detailed, I have added a lot great concepts such
as characters of dragons, fonts and background. I agree that I can add a bit more
expiation of why I'm using A4 page for my story book size.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
I don’t agree that the context being complicated for my younger audience, I think the
whole idea of sharing Chinese culture and values to a younger audience is that it can
start young and teach kids to become respectful people and also learns to explore
different cultures.

Original Script
The Dragon After His Winter Sleep
Once there was a scholar who was reading in the upper story of his house. It was a rainy, cloudy
day and the weather was gloomy. Suddenly he saw a little thing which shone like a fire-fly. It
crawled upon the table, and wherever it went it left traces of burns, curved like the tracks of a rain
worm. Gradually it wound itself about the scholar’s book and the book, too, grew black. Then it
occurred to him that it might be a dragon. So he carried it out of doors on the book. There he stood
for quite some time; but it sat uncurled, without moving in the least.
Then the scholar said: “It shall not be said of me that I was lacking in respect.” With these words he
carried back the book and once more laid it on the table. Then he put on his robes of ceremony,
made a deep bow and escorted the dragon out on it again.
No sooner had he left the door, than he noticed that the dragon raised his head and stretched
himself. Then he flew up from the book with a hissing sound, like a radiant streak. Once more he
turned around toward the scholar, and his head had already grown to the size of a barrel, while his
body must have been a full fathom in length. He gave one more snaky twist, and then there was a
terrible crash of thunder and the dragon went sailing through the air.
The scholar then returned and looked to see which way the little creature had come. And he could
follow his tracks hither and thither, to his chest of books.
