What did you like about your image?
I like how you can easily tell what animal it is, even if you don’t think of the exact animal. This is due to small
shapes being used to distinguish the animals features and make it easy to tell what animal it is. To make this
image I took an image of my chosen animal, which was a Lioness, and pasted it into Photoshop. I then used
small shapes to make the outer shape of the lioness so I could add features later. I changed the opacity of
each shape and warped them into the shape of a feature of the lion and then coloured it close to the animals
colour range. I like how the shapes came together with the colours as they look as close to the original as
possible. I chose the colours I did because they were close to the colours of the lioness which helped make
the image more realistic and for people to spot the animal better.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I could do this image again I would add more shapes to the image to make out more features
of the animal. This can help children identify the animal. I would also change the background of
the image so it would look more realistic for the animal which will make it even easier to
distinguish the animal.

What did you like about your image?
For this image, I liked how the shapes have been used to create the animal and it’s background as they look as
realistic as they can be and makes it obvious what animal it is and what his whereabouts are. To make this
image I used small shapes to make the out line of the animal which was made by warping the shapes I put
in to make it as close to the animal shape as possible.. Once I did that I colour overlayed the shapes to a
similar colour to that part of that animal. I did that for every part of the animal I could see and colour
overlayed them to a similar colour to the part I was overlaying. This completed the animal.
Once that was done I used shapes to create the background for the animal and make it look more realistic to
my target audience. I like the background because it gives the image more colour and catches the eye of
my audience.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I could do this again I would add more texture to the animal which will make it look like it had
fur which it does it real life.

What did you like about your image?
The first thing I like about this is the shading. I used colour to get these dark colours and faded them a bit to make it
look more realistic. I think the shading on the face makes it more realistic as it gives his face depth like his real face
does. I also like his hair because although it looks blocky, the small slashes in his hair makes it look like real hair
and makes the whole image look better. I also like the look of the lips because they look real and, with added
shading, they are given more depth and shadows. To do this to my image I took an image from the internet of a
celebrity and used the lasso tool to layer different parts of the person to colour overlay them. Some parts like the
facial hair were hard to do with the lasso tool so I used Colour Range to layer different shades of the same colour
to get little bits of the facial hair that I couldn’t get with the lasso tool. This really did help because it made the
facial hair look more real and made it look like it would feel rough like facial hair does.
What would you improve if you did it again?
For this image, I would make the black part of his hair lighter so you can see the lighter parts of the hair that make it
look more real. I would also add some more shade the the forehead and left side of his face to add more depth.

What did you like about your image?
This is my favourite image out of the two rotoscopes as I really like the colours and shades and really like how it looks
really realistic. I also really like the shading on the face and the hair as they make the image look real and gives the
celebrity I’ve done some depth. I also like the different shades on the lips as it makes the lips more realistic. The teeth I
liked because they got shading from the colour range which made them look real and not to plain and obvious. To get
this on my image I did the same as I did for the first image but just used different colours depending on what part of
the original photo was like.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I could do this image again I wouldn’t do any much shading as I think there’s a lot of shading going on in the image
that it almost looks to much like the real image. I would also change the shades of the colours of her lips because I
think they are too different and they need to be more alike to get the lips to look real.

What did you like about your image?
The first image I did was of my name made out of an image of a hobby I like. To do this I put my name in
a big font bold font and chose the image I wanted. I then resized the image so it would fit the name
fully. I then created a clipping mask so the image went to the shape of the font after rasterizing the
layer. I really like how the letters are close together but are still readable. I also like how the image
makes the word look as it has bright colours but you can still read the font.
The second image I put different shapes into the font by putting a shape on top of the rasterized font
and using the magic wand to go around the shape. I then went onto the font layer and pressed
backspace. The shape was now cut out of the font making the font look like it had a shape cut out of it. I
really like this because I can choose images that I like and make them part of my name. I also like the
gradient overlay of the font as it makes the font stand out and makes it more interesting. I like the
shadow on the font as it makes it stand out from the white background and makes it easier to read.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I did the first font again I would choose a picture with different colours which would make the font
brighter and bolder. I would also put a stroke on it to make the name even easier to read.
For the second font I would choose different colours to make it more interesting and make it more
personal to me.

What did you like about your image?
The first image I did was of the joker from The Dark Knight movie. For this image I like how the colours look together as I think they
look good together and are interesting to look at. I also like how the shadows work in this image as they give the joker depth and
makes him look more real. To get this image as it is, I duplicated the image to make two layers of the image above the background. I
then went to layer 1 and went into filter gallery and chose the cutout filter. I changed the settings in cutout until I was happy with my
image. I then clicked okay and went onto the copied image. When on the copied image I went to adjustments-threshold to get the
darker shadows of the original image. Once done I went to blending mode and chose a blending option I liked.
The second image I did was of Bilbo Baggins and a few dwarfs from the first Hobbit film. I did the same movies as I did on the first
image but just changed the filter settings, threshold and the blending so I got a different kind of image from the first. I like how the
people are brighter than their darker background as it makes them stand out and gives the image more depth making It more real. I
also like how there’s bits of darker colour on the people as it gives them depth and makes them more 3D.
For my third and last image, I chose to do two main characters from the second Captain America movie. I did the same as I did for the
second image but again changed the bits I wanted to. I really like third image because the main image is mainly black and white which
helped the final image look darker and more comic book like. I also like the people’s faces as you can see different shades to their face
which gives them depth and makes it more realistic.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I could do these images again, I would make the first one less clearer to make the image look interesting and different. I would
change the second image by toning down the white on the image a bit and make it darker to look more realistic. For my third and final
image, I would make the image black and white to make it look more like a comic book and to make it different from the other images.
20. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
For my first image, I like the angle the image was taken as it shows the car at an angle where you can see most of the
car and it creates a good depth of field for the image. I also like how the car is the main focus of the image and it
clearer than it’s background, this will grab the attention of people. The second picture I like the patterns in the image
and the repetition of chairs and tables as it makes the image more interesting and eye-grabbing. I also like how the
background is light but the foreground is dark as it gives the image a better contrast and makes it look better. For the
third image I like different colours of the image because they make it more eye grabbing and make you want to look
at the picture. I also like the slight blur on the image as it makes it seem busy and makes it more interesting.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I could do the first image again I would make sure the lighting it better and take a picture of a brighter
coloured car to stand out from the dark background. For the second image I would get closer to the chairs and
get an angled image just on the chairs and no on the complicated background. For my third image again I
would make sure the image doesn’t have a blur on it to make it a better quality.
22. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the shading on the drawing because it gives it depth and gives a sense of where the light is coming
through. This makes it look more natural and seem more realistic, bringing it to life. I also like the shadow
because that also gives a sense of where the light is and a rough idea of how big the thing the drawing is of is.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I could dot his again I would draw a more complicated image that uses more shading and more difficult
shaping to test my ability and see how well I can cope with harder drawings.
24. Mood board of inspiration- Rapunzel
Characters
This mood board shows
the characters I want to
include in my story. For
my story I chose
Rapunzel, so I found
pictures of people that
relate to Rapunzel. This
made me find images of
different evil
stepmothers to see how
different people have
shown her in different
stories. I also searched
an image of a horse so I
could get a good idea of
what I want the horse to
look like.
25. Mood Board- Text
I choose these fonts because I thought they would all look
good as either the title of the book or as the font inside
book. I chose the first font because it was simple but a
little different which I liked. You can still read the word and
I think it would look good the book Title on the front page.
I picked the second because I thought it was simple
enough to put as the main font in the book. I like the third
one because it’s simple enough for the text inside the
book but could also be used for the title of the book as it’s
easy to read. The third font is more interesting to me and
is more likely to be used as the title of the book as it’s
readable but not as readable as the others. I chose the
fourth font because it’s simple and easy to read. But
because of the gaps between the letters, I might use this
font for the book title. The last font I like because it’s
simple but yet different from the others making it stand
out. I might use this font for the title of the book as I think
it’s too different and not simple enough.
28. Mood board of chosen idea
These are the main parts
of my mood board that I
will be putting into my
story. I really liked these
images and fonts so I
chose them to be part of
the book.
29. Proposal

30. Deadline
20th March 2015
Audience
My target audience are children aged 5-11. I chose this target audience because younger children can have
it read to them by their parents and when they get older will be able to read it themselves. I also think if I
targeted any lower on the age, then the children won’t understand the story as well. The gender would be
female as I think young female children love stories of princesses and them getting a happy ending. I don’t
think this book would appeal to male children as I decided not to put the prince in it much and boys will
want to see the prince more and not the princess. Location would be English speaking countries like Great
Britain and USA because they would be able to read it as it will be in English, other countries might not be
able to read English so it would be best to aim for English speaking countries.
Production Methods
To make the Illustrations on my page, I will use rotoscoping to get good image of my characters and
draw a few parts to make the Illustrations look realistic. I did think of doing it all in drawing but I
can’t draw very detailed pictures so I chose to Rotoscope as it’s easy for me and will get me some
good quality Illustrations. I will also be using simple but bold fonts so children to easily read the book
and understand what the Illustrations are saying.
31. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
Some of the strengths of the proposal are there is a
clear idea of the story as well as who is going to be
in it
There is a clear plan of how the pictures will be
crated
There is a clear idea of who the story will be aimed
at
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
Very clearly shows the themes in the story
Mind map is very easy to understand and have a
clear and simple layout
The mood bored could do with a few more images
as will as info and wider range of pictures
Limited info on the mind map
32. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
There is a clear story base which is well thought out
and with a lot of ideas
Clearly labelled target audience and who you’re
aiming the book at
Explain why you chose these dimensions for this
children’s book.
Talk about which social class that you aim your
book for and why do chose this social class
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
Well detailed ideas why took many ideas and
thoughts into thought
Well worked out story with ideas around that
One idea that could have been developed further is
how there are lots of styles of page layouts and
why you choose this certain one
Another idea that you could develop is why you
choose this type of font and this amount of lines per
page
33. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
Plenty of in depth information which really
engrossed me and had me hooked from the word
go.
Plot twist, how does Rapunzel slide down the tower
on her own hair, that’s just physically impossible.
Unless you are leaving out the fact that she’s
actually a wizard and that’s why she was able to
use magic. But in that case why did she have to
slide down the tower on her hair, surely then she
must have been able to fly away on a magic carpet
or broom of some kind. Sort it out.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
You used plenty of text to sum up why you would
want to see these kinds of things within your story.
Mood board could have had some more in depth
analogy to really keep the reader (of the mind map)
wanting more. I would have liked to see more
pictures based around the setting of the place it is
supposed to be set. At this moment in time I don’t
have a good image of where it is set, it could be set
in a bungalow for all I know.
34. Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
All of my feedback says that the story is in good detail and that I know what my target audience. But it also
says I need to add more to my mood boards and talk about the fonts more.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
The third person pointed out that they wanted to see a mood board of the scenery ideas which I thought
about doing but didn’t do for some reason. I agree with them that I should have done one to make
picturing the setting easier.
Most of the feedback said I had a good detailed story which I agree with because I thought about the story
for while and thought about my final story a lot to see if it was suitable to be made into a story.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
My third feedback said that it’s impossible for Rapunzel to slide down her own hair. I disagree with this as
in the movie, Tangled, it shows she can slide down her hair is she wraps it round something above first to
help support the hair.
I also disagree that there is limited info on my mind maps as I think I explained my ideas in good detail on
the mind maps very simply and that I don’t need to write a lot to get my point across.
39. Original Script- Rapunzel
There were once a man and a woman who had long in vain wished for a child. At length the
woman hoped that God was about to grant her desire. These people had a little window at the
back of their house from which a splendid garden could be seen, which was full of the most
beautiful flowers and herbs. It was, however, surrounded by a high wall, and no one dared to go
into it because it belonged to an enchantress, who had great power and was dreaded by all the
world. One day the woman was standing by this window and looking down into the garden,
when she saw a bed which was planted with the most beautiful rampion (rapunzel), and it
looked so fresh and green that she longed for it, and had the greatest desire to eat some. This
desire increased every day, and as she knew that she could not get any of it, she quite pined
away, and looked pale and miserable. Then her husband was alarmed, and asked, "What aileth
thee, dear wife?" "Ah," she replied, "if I can't get some of the rampion, which is in the garden
behind our house, to eat, I shall die." The man, who loved her, thought, "Sooner than let thy
wife die, bring her some of the rampion thyself, let it cost thee what it will." In the twilight of
evening, he clambered down over the wall into the garden of the enchantress, hastily clutched a
handful of rampion, and took it to his wife. She at once made herself a salad of it, and ate it with
much relish. She, however, liked it so much so very much, that the next day she longed for it
three times as much as before. If he was to have any rest, her husband must once more descend
into the garden. In the gloom of evening, therefore, he let himself down again; but when he had
clambered down the wall he was terribly afraid, for he saw the enchantress standing before him.
"How canst thou dare," said she with angry look, "to descend into my garden and steal my
rampion like a thief? Thou shalt suffer for it!" "Ah," answered he, "let mercy take the place of
justice, I only made up my mind to do it out of necessity

40. Original Script
My wife saw your rampion from the window, and felt such a longing for it that she would have died if she
had not got some to eat." Then the enchantress allowed her anger to be softened, and said to him, "If the
case be as thou sayest, I will allow thee to take away with thee as much rampion as thou wilt, only I make
one condition, thou must give me the child which thy wife will bring into the world; it shall be well treated,
and I will care for it like a mother." The man in his terror consented to everything, and when the woman was
brought to bed, the enchantress appeared at once, gave the child the name of Rapunzel, and took it away
with her.
Rapunzel grew into the most beautiful child beneath the sun. When she was twelve years old, the
enchantress shut her into a tower, which lay in a forest, and had neither stairs nor door, but quite at the top
was a little window. When the enchantress wanted to go in, she placed herself beneath this, and cried,
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down thy hair to me."
Rapunzel had magnificent long hair, fine as spun gold, and when she heard the voice of the enchantress she
unfastened her braided tresses, wound them round one of the hooks of the window above, and then the
hair fell twenty ells down, and the enchantress climbed up by it.
41. After a year or two, it came to pass that the King's son rode through the forest and went by the tower. Then he
heard a song, which was so charming that he stood still and listened. This was Rapunzel, who in her solitude passed
her time in letting her sweet voice resound. The King's son wanted to climb up to her, and looked for the door of the
tower, but none was to be found. He rode home, but the singing had so deeply touched his heart, that every day he
went out into the forest and listened to it. Once when he was thus standing behind a tree, he saw that an
enchantress came there, and he heard how she cried,
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down thy hair."
Then Rapunzel let down the braids of her hair, and the enchantress climbed up to her. "If that is the ladder by which
one mounts, I will for once try my fortune," said he, and the next day when it began to grow dark, he went to the
tower and cried,
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down thy hair."
Immediately the hair fell down and the King's son climbed up.
42. At first Rapunzel was terribly frightened when a man such as her eyes had never yet beheld, came to her; but the
King's son began to talk to her quite like a friend, and told her that his heart had been so stirred that it had let him
have no rest, and he had been forced to see her. Then Rapunzel lost her fear, and when he asked her if she would
take him for her husband, and she saw that he was young and handsome, she thought, "He will love me more than
old Dame Gothel does;" and she said yes, and laid her hand in his. She said, "I will willingly go away with thee, but I
do not know how to get down. Bring with thee a skein of silk every time that thou comest, and I will weave a ladder
with it, and when that is ready I will descend, and thou wilt take me on thy horse." They agreed that until that time
he should come to her every evening, for the old woman came by day. The enchantress remarked nothing of this,
until once Rapunzel said to her, "Tell me, Dame Gothel, how it happens that you are so much heavier for me to draw
up than the young King's son he is with me in a moment." "Ah! thou wicked child," cried the enchantress, "What do
I hear thee say! I thought I had separated thee from all the world, and yet thou hast deceived me!" In her anger she
clutched Rapunzel's beautiful tresses, wrapped them twice round her left hand, seized a pair of scissors with the
right, and snip, snap, they were cut off, and the lovely braids lay on the ground. And she was so pitiless that she
took poor Rapunzel into a desert where she had to live in great grief and misery.
On the same day, however, that she cast out Rapunzel, the enchantress in the evening fastened the braids of hair
which she had cut off to the hook of the window, and when the King's son came and cried,
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down thy hair,"
43. She let the hair down. The King's son ascended, but he did not find his dearest Rapunzel above, but
the enchantress, who gazed at him with wicked and venomous looks. "Aha!" she cried mockingly,
"Thou wouldst fetch thy dearest, but the beautiful bird sits no longer singing in the nest; the cat has
got it, and will scratch out thy eyes as well. Rapunzel is lost to thee; thou wilt never see her more."
The King's son was beside himself with pain, and in his despair he leapt down from the tower. He
escaped with his life, but the thorns into which he fell, pierced his eyes. Then he wandered quite blind
about the forest, ate nothing but roots and berries, and did nothing but lament and weep over the
loss of his dearest wife. Thus he roamed about in misery for some years, and at length came to the
desert where Rapunzel, with the twins to which she had given birth, a boy and a girl, lived in
wretchedness. He heard a voice, and it seemed so familiar to him that he went towards it, and when
he approached, Rapunzel knew him and fell on his neck and wept. Two of her tears wetted his eyes
and they grew clear again, and he could see with them as before. He led her to his kingdom where he
was joyfully received, and they lived for a long time afterwards, happy and contented.
