What did you like about your image?
I like the cartoon style of the finished picture as I
think it looks very smooth and child friendly
What would you improve if you did it again?
I think try and make the legs look better because
there is too much of a change in colour from
one leg to the bears main body fur

9. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the art style that you get from this type of
editing the straight edges to the shapes look
nice and using as few colures as possible gives a
good effect of 3D
What would you improve if you did it again?
I think that on some of my pictures I have not
made very good detail but I think with a bit
more practice I think I would get better results

10. Text Based

11. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I think this is a very good way of editing the text to
get a design that you want easily I also like the drop
shadow tool this gives the text a feeling of depth
and this would be good when you have lots of text
because you will be able to make it look like the text
is in front or behind the over text or pictures
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to do this agin I think I would look through
all the diffrant types of text effects I could aple to
my text to give it other effects

What did you like about your image?
I think the style you get from this I also like that
using something so simple you can get
something very abstract or very detailed I also
think this type of filter helps to bring out the
shadows in a picture
What would you improve if you did it again?
I think next time I do this I might try giving a
picture less shadow

16. Photography

17. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the action and the happiness you get from this
image of coarse the snow does not add to the happy
effect to the picture but I think that with Photoshop I
might be able to change the snow to a happier type of
weather to go with the feeling I wanted to create
What would you improve if you did it again?
Well there would be a few things that I would change for
example I would have taken more images to interlink with
my storyline I have chosen to do

18. Illustration

19. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I think that the pencil gives a nice effect on the
paper but the image is very limited to how well
the person can draw and the space of time in
which they had to draw that image
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would give myself more time and take more
care over the image I would be drawing

20. Initial Ideas

21. Mood board of inspiration

22. Idea Generation

23. Mood board of chosen idea

24. • Here I went and had a look at some pictures of travelers
and medieval serfs as in the story it talks about some
travelers coming in to the town in my story I picture the
time period as medieval Britain so getting images of people
and clothes from about this time will help me when I am
making my own characters in the story because I can make
their clothes fit in to the period of time I have chosen for
my stories setting I like the idea of the travelers holding a
stick like in some of the pictures the picture of the house is
good because this gives me a good idea of what the town
would look like that the travelers will be passing through
this will also be helpful when I am drawing the town
because I will be able to copy the building style to make my
buildings fit in with the setting of the rest of the story

25. Mood board of chosen idea

26. • These are some different pictures of soup and cooking
pos because in the story one of the main things in the
story is the soup and the cooking pot that the travelers
have with them when they come through the village I
need to get the look of the pot right to make the story
believable for example the travelers would not have a
modern pot with them and the pot would also be light
enough for them to carry on their journey the pictures
of the soup is there because there is different soup in
different places in the world so I will need to have the
soup look like what it would look like if the soup was
made in real life using the ingredients that are used in
the story

28. • There are different types of text I could use
but it is very important to use a clear text that
can be made bigger so that the children at this
age can read the look easier I have chosen this
text as I think it is very clear and has the
option for both capital letters as well as lower
case and the text is not at one block size it can
be edited to make the text smaller or bigger

29. Proposal
Dimensions
8-10 25cm x 22cm
Story Overview
The outline of the story is that two travellers enter a town looking for some food an a
place to stay people say that they have no food and what little they have they want to
keep for themselves the travellers place a pot in the square and in the pot place a
stone the villagers one by one wanting to see the magic stone turn the water to soup
help the travellers make the soup taste better by adding little bits of the food they
have after the soup has been made the villagers share the soup with the travellers
Export Format
PDF
Advantages: PDF files are easy to store and send in mass to people via the computer
and should a paper copy be needed it can easily be printed
Disadvantages: because the file is saved on the computer things could go wrong for
example if the computer was to break or crash then all your files would be stuck on the
computer and might be lost the files could get corrupted and there is always the
chance that the computer could be hacked and your file stolen

30. Deadline
20th of march
Audience
(Think about who you are targeting as your audience. Consider age, gender, class,
location and other characteristics which could define your audience.)
My audience will be in the age range of 8-12
Production Methods
(Explain the methods you are going to use to produce your pages. Show us the
thinking behind your decisions for a more detail response)
I am thing about using rotoscoping so although I might not be able to rotoscope
existing pictures I will use them as a base so I have something to head towards I
might also use a few shapes as I have seen you can get quite good effects by not
making the image as smooth and leaving a few corners on the shapes

31. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
This is a very strong proposal with a lot of detail in
areas.
Very good story line as it teaches children to share
and be kind to one an other and work as a team.
All points in the proposal that you have made have
been explained well and you show why you want to
do certain things.
Areas of the proposal that I would improve is to
possible try and add some punctuation and correct
the grammar.
Something else that I would suggest needs further
work is up where you have talked about the mount
of pages an the page dimensions, possibly explain
this a little bit better for instance say “Number of
pages: 8-12”
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
In your mood boards you have really explained well
already existing trends in children's book and and
shown in great detail the idea for your story.
In your moods boards you have painted a good
picture of what you want your story book to look like
and explained it all well, you show how you want it
all to look quite old time-y.
I think that ways that you could have taken idea
generation a bit further is you could have included a
few more pictures of what you want the locations to
look like.
Something else that you could have done is
adapted this for modern day, for instance have it
taking place in more recent times.
Again try and add puctionion.

32. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
Most of the proposal has a good amount of detail
and shows what you want you children's book to be
like and the story you are doing.
You could develop your proposal by adding some
more detail into the methods you will be using and
maybe explain why you wont be using any other
methods.
It could also be beneficial to add some more detail
about the methods you have spoke about and what
parts of the illustrations they will be used for, like
the background, characters etc.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
The mind map and mood board you have created
are very strong and show you understand what you
want to do for your children’s book and its good that
you went into a lot of detail on both the mind map
and why you picked the images you did for your
mood board because this can help when you start
creating your children’s book.
There isn't much you could do to improve your idea
generations apart from it could be good to add a
few more images on your first mood board to give
you more inspiration on what you children’s book
will look like and the kind of illustrations you can do.

33. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
A very original idea that has good morals and will
work really well as a children's story book, he gives
a good amount of information about the story but
makes it short enough as to not break the limit of
12 pages in our books we are creating.
The audience part of the proposal has little to no
information about your audience, you’ve said their
age, what about their gender, nationality, while
telling me what you have actually done, or are
going to do to make your book suitable for this
audience.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
The first spider diagram really shows me he knows
a lot about children's books in general and tells me
he knows the tropes and what makes these books
successful through there different attributes.
The mood board has a lot of information on it,
however doesn’t give me any visualisation about
the scenery and where the story actually takes
place, it also doesn’t give me much of an idea
about any of the characters apart from the tramp.

34. Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
They think that my overall idea is good but I should add more information about my
audience
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
I agree with a few things because I haven't talked about anything other then the age of
the audience
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?

Nail Soup
Once upon a time there was a tramp walking through a deep forest. He made his living selling a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Now
he was cold and tired and hungry and what was even worse, he had nothing left to sell. All he owned were the ragged clothes he wore and an
old, bent nail. When he came out of the forest he saw a little cottage, with smoke rising from the chimney. He knocked on the door, the door
opened and a woman looked at him suspiciously. - Please, could you be as good as to give a poor man shelter for the night, he asked. - I know
your kind, she said, if I let you in you won't leave before you have eaten everything I have. And I tell you, I'm so poor I haven't had a bite for
three days. So you just go away! But the tramp was a clever fellow, and the woman was so greedy that she immediately invited him when he
said that of course he didn't want to eat the little she had. On the contrary, he wanted her to share his evening meal. - But first I want to see
the food you say you want to share, she said. - This is all I need, he said, and took an old, bent nail out of his pocket. Just bring me a pot and
some water, and I'll cook the best soup you ever tasted with this nail. The woman brought a pot and looked with amazement as the tramp
made a fire, cooked some water and dropped the nail in it. - The soup might be a little thin, he said, you see I have been using the nail for
seven days now. It is a pity you don't have a little salt, that would surely make the soup taste like a soup fit for any gentleman's house. But
what we lack, we don't have. - Now that I come to think of it, said the woman. I might have a little salt left since Christmas. - How lucky, said
the tramp and put the salt in the pot. Well I was thinking that perhaps you could even serve this soup to the priest, if we only had some
vegetables also. But what we lack, we don't have. - Now that I come to think of it, said the woman. I might have some vegetablesin the
cellar. The tramp praised the wisdom of the woman and the excellent taste of the soup. - I think it would even be fit to serve the king, if we
only had a little meat to add, said the tramp. But there is no use longing for the impossible. What we lack, we don't have. - Now that I come
to think of it, said the woman. There might be some dried meat left somewhere. The tramp happily added the meat to the by now sweet-
smelling soup, the woman made the table with her finest silver spoons and her best plates. When she came to think of it, there was actually
some wine left since her husband's funeral. So she felt almost like a queen when they shared the soup the tramp had cooked with his nail.
The next morning the tramp left without his nail, because the woman wouldn't let him go before he agreed to sell it. And still to this day, the
nail has been very useful. Not only can you make a wonderful soup, but you can also use it for cooking tales with. True, what we lack we
don't have, but if you add a little of this and a little of that it will certainly be a story fit for telling to a king!

40. Final Script
Once upon a time there was a tramp walking through a deep dark wood. The tramp had no money and was very poor, and all he had was a small bottle of water.
As he walked he thought to himself.
“I wish I had some food and a nice warm place to sleep”. Just then, he walked around a very large tree and saw a small cottage.
“Finally, a place to stay for the night!” he thought, and walked to the front door and he knocked. Rat-a-tat-tat. The door opened slowly.
A old woman stood in the doorway.
“Yes?” she asked.
“It is very cold and getting dark. Could I please spend the night here and maybe have some food?” the tramp explained.
The old woman looked at the tramp. She did have food but she wasn’t going to give it to the tramp. After all, he was dirty and smelt funny so she lied to the tramp.
“You can stay the night but I’m only a poor old woman, I have no food” she said.
“Do you have a cooking pot?” the tramp asked moving into the house and closing the door behind him.
“Yes?” the woman answered with a confused look on her face.
“Well" said the tramp remembering the water bottle in his bag “It just so happens that I am a wizard and I can use this magic water to make the best soup you
have ever tasted!” the old woman had never seen magic done before. She quickly fetched the cooking pot and placed it over the fireplace.
“Prove it!” she said. The tramp poured the water into the pot and waited for the water to boil. When it began boiling he sung;
“With a helping hand
and this pot of gloop
a yell, a shriek, a scream and a whoop
oh pot as round as a basketball hoop
please help us make a tasty soup!”
The tramp looked in the pot..
”Is it ready?” the old woman asked.
“No not yet, last time I added some peas and it worked, shame you don’t have any!”
“I’m sure I have a few somewhere” the old woman said. She went to the cellar and came back with three cups of peas which she placed in the pot.

41. Final Script
The tramp then sung again…
“With a helping hand
and these lovely green peas
smell as sweet, as a new day’s breeze
Lovely soup, oh perfect soup
cook for us, please oh please”
The tramp looked in the pot again
“It must be ready now” the old woman said with her tummy growling.
“No, not yet! Last time I added some meat and it worked, shame you don’t have any!”
“I’m sure I have meat somewhere..” the old woman said. She went to the cellar again, and came back with a whole chicken which she chopped
and placed into the pot.
This time the tramp waved his hands over the bubbling pot as he sung…
“With a helping hand
and this new tender meat
surely you aren't incomplete
lovely soup, oh perfect soup
soon we will begin to eat”
For the last time the tramp looked into the pot..
“Please say the soup is ready” said the old woman, with her tummy growling like a lion.
“I think it’s finished. Get some bowls and we’ll have a lovely meal” the tramp told the old woman.
The old woman went into the cellar and got a table cloth, and placed it on the table as well as a few china bowls and some spoons. After this the
tramp and the old woman sat down at the table and ate the soup. After the soup, the woman agreed at it was the best soup she had ever had and
offered the tramp her bed for the night while she slept in a chair.
In the morning the old woman asked the tramp if she could buy the magic water and the tramp told her of a river where she could get all the magic
water she wanted and left the old woman and continued his journey. The tramp walked over a river and he refilled his water bottle, and continued
into town. He was going to eat well tomorrow.
