20. Idea Generation

24. Proposal
Dimensions
The book will have 10 pages and it will be 13.3 by 18.1 cm.
Story Overview
The main character (jack) gets some magic beans and in the morning a giant bean stalk
is there. He climbs up the bean stalk and finds a giant living in a castle. Jack goes in find
a big bag of gold and a magic hen that lays golden eggs. He then climbs down the bean
stalk, cut it down and and him and his mother are no longer poor.
Export Format
I will use a PDF file
Advantages: A PDF file makes the document portable. It is good for large file.
Disadvantages: Most/all PDF files aren’t/cant be supported by most web browsers.

25. Deadline
3rd of February, 2016
Audience
The target audience is males aged between 3 – 5 as this is the normal target
audience for a book like this. It’ll be aimed at Middle class family’s as it is a more
traditional story, and in England and other English speaking countries.
Production Methods
The main methods that I will be using is the Shape Tool, The Warp Tool and the
Polygonal tool. I will also uses filters and the clipping mask feature to try create
interest and visually pleasing effects.
Improvements
I will use a combination on the shape tool and rota scoping for large areas like the
backgrounds, beanstalk and inside of houses/castles and for the detailed areas I will
use the rota scope tool as it is more accurate.

26. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
The proposal is very good and like the idea
generation it is clear you understand how your book
will end up and how you will create it. The particular
strength of the proposal is the target audience
section as you have outlined an audience you want
to market too and you understand the kind of
people who will buy your book.
You could detail further into your production
methods by exploring the ways in which you will
actually create the characters and background
rather than just identifying the tools you will use.
You could reference back to your previous work to
give examples and help detail how your story will
end up looking.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
The idea generation is very well made and
thorough and it is strong in the sense that you have
a complete understanding of how you plan on
creating the book and how it will end up in the final
piece. In particular I think that the moodboard is
strong as you have stuck with the comic art style
and taken lots of images from the one particular
style rather than taking from many different types. It
is good that you have a strong art style you have
decided on. Also the environment you created is
really well done and the texturing on things like the
grass really make it stand out from the screen and
give it some life.
The only area that could be further developed is the
mind map as you could have looked at how the
giant and jack are portrayed so you can understand
how you plan on creating them in the book. By
looking further into the characters you can begin to
define how they will be represented both in writing
and in the illustration.

27. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
You have kept all the relevant information simple
and straight to the point this is good. I also like how
you gave accurate dimensions of your book so that
I can get a clear idea of what it will look like.
To improve you need to go into more detail about
why what you have said are advantages and
disadvantages of a pdf document and make your
sentences have more structure rather than just
points. You could go into more detail as to why you
are using each production technique and what you
will use them for.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
You have kept to the same theme on your story
board which helps me visualise exactly what you
want it to look like. The spider diagram also looks
like it has a lot of detail.
You could do a mood board about how you want
your text too look and also about your characters
and background in your story. To further improve
you could add a spider diagram about a different
version of jack and the bean stalk to develop your
ideas.

28. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
Your proposal overall is good. You have included
what techniques you are going to do to create your
book and also described what audience suits your
book best but did’t stop there you have gone into
detail about why you have chosen your audience.
This is good because it shows me why certain
people wont like it. You have talked about what file
you are going to save your project in but also
includes advantages and disadvantage this is good
because it shows me why the file your using is
good but also shows your self the disadvantages of
using it and warns you when its comes to saving so
its allows your to start thinking about alternatives.
I would start to explain more about the techniques
you are using and talk about where you would use
them in your book and when you would use them.
Also when talking about your audience you could
talk about gender and parents.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
In the idea generation you have created a good
mood bored by adding lots of images in that show
me what is going to be in your book, this gives me
and idea what your book might be about.
I would add maybe another page to the mood bored
of locations you would like your book to have. This
shows the setting your book would have and overall
be able to picture the book all together.

29. Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
I agree with all (but one point) of my feedback I really feel like this can help to make my
end product better as it bring up important point that will effect (in a positive way) my
end product.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
That the production methods could have more detail in it i.e. how I will make the
characters and talk more about gender in the target audience section. I also feel like the
spider diagram could be more detail.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
I disagree with that I should talk about gender in the target audience. The rest of my
feedback agree with.

30. Original Script
Once upon a time there was a boy called Jack. He lived with his mother. They were very
poor. All they had was a cow. One morning, Jack’s mother told Jack to take their cow to
market and sell her. On the way, Jack met a man. He gave Jack some magic beans for the
cow. Jack took the beans and went back home. When Jack’s mother saw the beans she
was very angry. She threw the beans out of the window. The next morning, Jack looked
out of the window. There was a giant beanstalk. He went outside and started to climb
the beanstalk. He climbed up to the sky the rough the clouds. Jack saw a beautiful
castle. He went inside. Jack heard a voice. “Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum!” Jack ran into a cupboard.
An enormous giant came into the room and sat down. On the table there was a hen and
a golden harp. “Lay!” said the giant. The hen laid an egg. It was made of gold. “Sing!”
said the giant. The harp began to sing. Soon the giant was asleep. Jack jumped out of
the cupboard. He took the hen and the harp. Suddenly, the harp sang, “Help, master!”
The giant woke up and shouted, “Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum!” Jack ran and started climbing down
the beanstalk. The giant came down after him. Jack shouted, “Mother, help!” Jack’s
mother took an axe and chopped down the beanstalk. The giant fell and crashed to the
ground. Nobody ever saw him again. With the golden eggs and the magic harp, Jack and
his mother lived happily ever after.
