If I was to do it again I would take more time on the hair trying to get every
strand correct because different parts of the hair where different colours. I
would also improve the face features like the nose as it looks like the nose has
been stuck on. I would also like to improve the light and dark parts and make
them stand out more so that if a part of the picture is lighter than another I
would like to show that clearly.

9. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I liked how it went from a just my name into turning my name into something
weird. I liked getting use the different tools and changing the text in new
ways. I liked that you could input images into the text and have a type of
camo to go other the words. I liked the fact you could put the words really
close or really far away. What I also liked about my text based image was
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would use other aspects of the new tools that I didn’t get to use when doing
the text type.

12. Photo Story

13. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
What I enjoyed about my image is that it was simplistic to do. I think that the images
show clearly what is happening in the story and you can tell at each stage what is
going on. I also liked the facial expressions on the face of the person in the images it
captured exactly what I wanted. I also liked the detail within the image it captures
every aspect of what I wanted. I also liked hat the image shows what I wanted it to
show. I also liked the image with the black background as it shows he is falling to
nowhere which is what I wanted.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would improve the pictures that were taking for the photo story. I would try to take
the photo from different angles to get a better image, Also take a mixture of short and
long photo to mix it up as images at the same distance can get boring. Make sure all
the images are at the best quality they can be because one of the images came out
really blurry. I would plan what I want the final product to be better. I would add more
to the images and make a background for each of the images. I would also try and add
some prompts so that I do not have to get images off the internet and add them in.

16. Initial Ideas

17. Mood board of inspiration

18. Mind Map
Source of the story
Fairy tale
Style The pages could be landscape
because most books are
landscape. But I might use
portrait to be different.
I will be using standard font and
will be making the font big and
clear to read.
The style of the book will be set in
small paragraphs. One per page on
the other page there will be an
image showing what is going on.
The colors of the book will
be bright and the story will
be colorful.
Characters
The main characters would be
modern day people. There would
be a teenager, mother, rich father
and his daughter.
The characters will be happy
with what they have. Jack
will be lazy at the start and
then later on in the story
become active.
Jack will be lifeless and boring
but his journey will change that
and he will become full of life
and enjoy his life.
They will be
cartoonish
characters
I could use a
wood as a
background
setting
because he
could work for
a
woodchopper
in the woods.
The background settings
I could also use a desert and
show him working towards a
town to find his job.
The background setting
is going to be in a city or
a town. The town or city
will be very modern. It
will be set in modern
time.
I am going to have different
types of weather. Like one day
it will be raining and the next it
is sun shining.
Story
The story is going to be
about a teenager called jack.
He is very lazy and gets told
by his parents that if he
doesn’t get a job she will
kick him out. So for seven
days he goes out and does a
job and gets a reward but he
never brings it home as it
breaks. The final day he gets
a donkey and walks past a
house where a girl laughs for
the first time and her father
ends up getting the pair
married.
I could have dark colour
when bad things happen
and bright colors for when
good things are happening. I
could also change the story
and have a darker feel to
the story, which would be
good for dark colors.
Maybe some bad things occur
that don’t happen in the story.
Like jack disappearing for
example. And maybe jack will
be sad even after he gets
married to a rich man
daughter.
Visual style
Photographs
It’s going to look modern with a cartoon feel to it.
Illustrating Rotoscoping

19. He gets rewarded
with a cat that he
tries to carry
home.
This is going to be one
of the backgrounds as
one day it will be raining

This is when jack get his
final prize being a donkey

daughter and his daughter
sees jack and starts to burst
into laughter.
This is the rich father
who jack passes his
house with the
donkey and makes his
daughter laugh for the
very first time.

21. Proposal
Dimensions
The number of pages I will use in my book is 8 pages. I will be using a A5 size for my children book.
Export Format
The export format I am going to use is going to be a JPEG file.
Advantages: the advantages of using a JPEG file is high controlled degree of compression. The user independently selects the ratio
quality file size
small file size.
format is compatible and it is displayed correctly in any browsers, text and graphics programs, on all computers, tablets and mobile
devices.
suitable for full-color realistic images with a lot of color and contrast transitions
picture quality is high with small degree of compression.
Disadvantages: image may fall apart into individual squares – 8×8 pixel blocks when you squeeze it. This occurs because
compression algorithm involves analysis of neighboring pixels, due to this smooth color – transitions may become harsh or just
disappear.
JPEG is less suitable for working with text or monochrome graphics with clear boundaries
format does not support transparency and In case of drawing templates, logos, buttons it’s necessary;
every next step of compressing the image degrades its quality .

22. Story Overview
A outline of the story would be that lazy jack is a person how is very lazy and doesn’t
plan on doing anything except siting in the sun. jack gets told by his mother that he
needs to go and find work. So everyday of the next week he goes out and finds a job
and gets rewarded everytime he does a new job. The rewards he gets he ends up not
getting them home and his mother each time will tell him to try a different method of
bringing it home. The last day of the week he gets a donkey and carries over his
shoulders. He walks past a rich man house where his daughter sees jack and for the
first time in her life she laughs. So the rich man decides that jack and his daughter are
to get married and live in a big house with his mother.

23. Deadline
The deadline is going to be the 6th of November.
Audience
The target audience that will be aiming my children book at is going to be 5 to 8 year olds. The
gender would be mostly aimed at males because the book is about a male character but
females could also read the book for entertainment reasons and also there is a female
character within the book. The location where the book will be released would probably the
entire world as there are no problems with what the story tells and nobody should take it
offensive. It could be aimed at people who lack motivation to try and motivate them to do
something because they don’t know how there future is going to play out just like the main
character in the book. The book will be aimed at middle class people. People how enjoy
comedy may read this book as it has a comedy feel to it.
Production Methods
To produce the pages I am going to use Photoshop. I will use rotoscoping to create the images,
I will do this because I find it easier to do than the other methods. Also using this makes it
faster. But I might use photographs because it is simple to do and you can capture exactly what
you want. I will use Photoshop because you can use it for every aspect that you need within a
book. I would use rotoscoping because it is easy to access. There will be more pictures than
text within the book because picture can say more words from just the image. The images are
going to be bright colours and the text is going to be big and readable for the reader to read.

24. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
A strength of this proposal is that the story is clear
and easy to understand, also there are lots of
reasoning behind the production techniques.
If it was to be improved it could a have more detail
about he audience.
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 the mind
map is very clear and shows that the ideas have
been thought out and have considered lots of
options
Something that could be improved could be the
mood board, it could have more options of the
illustration styles.

25. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
Detailed points about the advantages and
disadvantages of the export format.
In terms of the dimensions it doesn’t say how big
the page sizes will be.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
Explained thoroughly for each point and also used
picture annotations for each one. Used multiple
points for each heading and again is explained in
detail.
Be more clear for which line/arrow it is pointing at.
Also possibly use less writing on the mood board.

26. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
You explained the advantages and disadvantages
in lots of detail, so the person knows why JPEG
may be suitable/unsuitable for task.
You explained clearly why photoshop and
photographs would be best for you. This shows
your understanding of this story.
In the audience category, you explained the aim of
the story which helps to show what the reader
should gain from it.
Explain why middle class people.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?

27. Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
The sum up of my feedback is that it is generally positive from the people that reviewed.
My proposal got better feedback than the mood board and mind map. People say that I
have put detailed descriptions of the story and the format type. There were some
negatives to do with the mood board and the mind map.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
The parts of the feedback I agree with is that I put a detailed description of the format
and that I put plenty of detail for each point. I agree with parts of my mind map not be
very clear as there is a lack of arrows pointing to the information. I agree with the
explanation I did on the Photoshop and the photographs. I could have more variations of
pictures on my mood board.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
The parts on which I disagree on are the detail in which was put in the audience section I
feel like I covered all aspects of the audience.
