What did you like about your image?
As huskies are a furry animals, I like the way I added a furry texture to it which
created a more 3D effect. Also the use of texture through colour range was really
helpful for adding a shade of colour to my Husky. Creating shapes that fit round
the Huskies body is not easy and for my first go I think the end result was quite
good. When adding a surface for the husky non of them looked quite right as they
are animals from a cold snow covered country. So in the end I used the colour
range effect on an image of snow to created a slightly shaded version of it to place
under the husky, as a surface.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would have tried to make the out line of the Husky more accurate and create a
more furry effect. The Huskies forehead was to bold I would have like the edges to
be faded so it didn’t stand out as much. After trying to mix two effects like the
texture of the Husky and the cartoon effect I would have preferred to have stuck
to just one effect.

What did you like about your image?
The simple design help to present the cartoon effect I was trying create. The
colours represents the animal, this is the sort of thing that appeals to
children. The little beats of detail like the eyes and the tail and feet all pull the
image together.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would have liked to try and create a more curly tail for the pig. This would
have created a more interesting illustration. I would have maybe added some
shading to it to create a more 3D image.

What did you like about your image?
I believe I had created a much effective cartoon character with this particular
animal. The paws on the Panda were much more accurate then my last
cartoon character and really helped create a well presented image.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would have tried to round out the edges of the Panda so they were less
jagged and much smoother. I also would have done this with the Pandas eyes,
nose and ears.

What did you like about your image?
I like the different colours used to pull the image in to the foreground. The
blank background created with just different shade of blue help to present
the fish. His eyes really help to add some life to him. I like his stripes as the
make the fish more appealing.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Although the background helped to present the fish I would have like to add
more detail to it if I did it again. And maybe add another colour in as well. I
would have put some texture on his body to make him look realistic.

What did you like about your image?
I like the way I have placed an interesting and eye catching photo in the text. I
also used a large and bold font so the image is more visible in the text. Toni
Bou is the 6 time world champion trials biker. I like the fact that I presented
his skill as well as his name through he text.
What would you improve if you did it again?
The end of the photo has a small image placed in the end letter, I, in order to
fill a gap. However this image does not fit in the gap appropriately as the one
I replaced it with was not the right colour and stands out to much. I would
have also enlarged the text to fit more of the photo in so you could see the
image better.
13. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
The positioning of the text and image both have been edited to create a much
more interesting and exciting look for the text. The text was separated into
two separate words and then positioned properly. The Niki was place in-between
the L and the D of Lauda. This helped to present the text in a more
interesting style as well as the image. The last ;letter of Lauda was left blank
as the image did not fit so I replaced it with an image of Niki Lauda. This
showed you who was driving the car in the photo and who's name it was. This
last photo helped to explain the text style.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would have added a small stroke around the edge of the text to make it
easier to read. this would have also brought the text out from the page better
as well.
15. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
The image was much darker and when adding my effect I manage to lighten
the background and then added some dark contrast the the bike, so it stands
out from the background. I liked the way I kept the colour of the image whilst
giving it a cartoon effect.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would have liked to get rid of the dark colours, mainly black, from the
background especially the dark contrast placed over the people. This would
have lightened the background creating a more comic effect, also the rider
and bike would have stood out more.
17. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I applied some filter effects to the image to try and create a better cartoon
look. After this I Rotoscoped around the race car and created it as another
layer, then put a stroke around it. This made the race car stand out from the
background as it was really pulled into the foreground and made the focus
point of the image. I also dimmed the background to help add to this effect as
well as it helped to show of the cartoon filters added to the car.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would have liked to created a better cartoon effect on the race car so it
didn’t look so realistic. This would have helped to make the race car the main
focus of the image as well.
19. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I liked the way we got each photo to represent the subject matter through the facial
expression of the person. We used a light background and close up shot to represent
happiness, as the white background presented the colour of her skin better and teeth. We
used motion to create the feeling of excitement in one photo, by someone jumping in the
air. I like the way created loneliness from a birds eye view. We had two people talking and
the other sitting on there own representing loneliness.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would have used a faster shutter speed as this would have captured a still, focused image
for the excitement photo. This would have presented the image better creating a more
exaggerated effect of excitement. For the loneliness photo I would have liked to try other
option rather then just the birds eye view. I think that if we had tried taking the photo from
the tables level so you can see the facial expressions on the peoples faces, this would have
given a better sense of loneliness. The happiness photo was one that I quite liked but I
would have taken the photo with a plain background rather then the annoying line in the
background. This could almost cut the photo in half.
21. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
The character that I have drawn from my imagination could be seen as a
“Bady” in a child eyes. It is colourful and would catch a child's attention a
begin to make there imagination work. The bright colours I used made the
drawing stand out well. The colours fitted in well as I made the drawing quite
simple as this created a cartoon effect much better. I also used his facial
expression in this drawing to present an evil mysteries effect. To finish of his
evil master look I added a hover board or floating device for him to stand on.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would have given him a background to present his image better. Also I would
have designed a better hovercraft for him to stand on, as this would have
made the image more appealing to a child. The background needed to be
much more interesting with missiles and lots evil things as this would capture
a child's attention very easily.

Story Overview
Lauda is a racing car who is in a race championship and and wins his first race. Then in
his second race he is pushed of the track by a mean car who then wins the race. Lauda
was told he couldn’t win the championship as he would not be fixed in time. But
Lauda races after staying in the garage over night and the mean car try's to push him
of the track again but this time Lauda was expecting it and dodges him and then goes
on to win the race. All because he believed in himself.
27. Production Methods
For the illustrations in the children's book I will use images of Niki Laudas 1976 F1
Car and then Rotoscope over the top of them to create a cartoon effect. I will have
to create some eyes which I can use on every illustration. Once I have done this I
will have cartoon character based around Niki Laudas car hence the name, Lauda
The Racing Car. Although using Niki Laudas car as a base for my cartoon character
the book is made around Roary The Racing Car.
Audience
My book is aimed at children in the age range of 5-8 years. The book is written
mainly for the male audience. However at a young age this want affect many
children's interests in the book. To the younger audience the book will have to be
read to the child. However to the older audience they may be able to start reading
the book their selves
Deadline
16th October
28. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
The story is a strong aspect of this proposal. Since
cars a a solid shape and do not distort it is a clever
idea to use rotoscoping to animate them.
I am unsure about how you plan to create the back
ground of the book. I would also recommend that
you use several different eye designs, rather than
just one for every car. Eyes give the characters
characteristics, if Lauda has bright and wide eye it
would portray him in a positive light, whereas the
villain could have more narrowed eyes.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
Are you planning to add effects to show the
movement of the cars?
29. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
The strengths of this proposal is that it has a very
detailed storyline. It is very clear on what is
happening in your story which makes it easier for
children to understand and not get bored.
The parts of your proposal that need further work is
that you haven’t mentioned that the parents might
buying it or reading it.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
The strengths of the idea is that you have a lot of
detail within your Mindmap but at the same time it
is simple and easy to understand.
The areas could have been more developed would
have been the mood board because you haven’t
got the race track, or any other character accept the
main one.
30. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
The strengths of this proposal are that it is a good
bases for a book and it is also based on slightly real
events, Niki Lauda, which will appeal to adults
buying the book for their children.
You haven’t mentioned the parents or adults buying
or reading the book for their children.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
You have a strong bases for the car that you will
use and you can either keep this life like or make it
very animated like Rory the racing car.
You could mention the bad car and use inspiration
from the cars that Niki Lauda was racing against at
the time.
31. Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
My feedback has been very helpful and given me a many ideas which I will incorporate
into my proposal and book.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
I need to write about what the parents will think about the book. Also I should create
different type of eyes. The peace of feedback about creating different eyes will really
help to add a human life form to my cartoon race car.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
Some one asking me a question how do I answer it ?
