3. TYLE SHEET: COLOURS
These colours will be interpreted within my
animation, its drawings and its fonts. I
really like these colours because they are
simple, bright and interesting. There is a
mixture of light and dark colours, which is
good because my life has both light and
dark moments within such as achievements
I thought I could never achieve possible,
and losing a loved one and the voices in my
head are the dark parts of my life. Mostly, I
chose bright colours because I reckon it will
keep the audience interested and happy
with the contents. Also, the colours reflects
on the events on my life, and how I would

4. STYLE SHEETS: FONTS
These fonts are so interesting and well
designed to make the audience gaze in
awe. I will be using these fonts in my title
to make it stand out and look amazing,
as well when my cartoon self says my full
name. Personally, I really do like how the
lighting on these images stand out and
makes them look realistic as if they were
right there in front of me. Also, the bold
texts give the animation a very cartoon
like vibe, which is supposed to be funny
and joyful. Hopefully, these inspirational
font styles I will interpret into my
animation will keep the audience

5. TYLE SHEET: IMAGE STYLE
I really do like the felt and material
vibe animations that give the full
picture a pleasant and amazing vibe
of the intention of the animations,
which is to entertain and teach the
audience for their own desire. I will
be using this form of animation for
the product because I believe it is
good to try out another form of
animation and not just drawings.
Also, I believe that this type of
animation will draw the attention of
the audience a lot further. I don’t

7. TYLE SHEET: COLOURS
Most of these colours are bright and
bold, which is what my t-shirt is
mostly composed of. However,
there are some dark colours too,
but that is because of Lucky
because he is mainly composed of
black, white and grey and it all
blends in together so you can
hardly see the connection points.
The bright colours will be used to
make the images stand out more
and attract the audience further and
makes it more interesting for them.
The dark colours doesn’t
necessarily mean sadness on my t-
shirt, but there is an image where I
do condoned to crying a lot which is

8. STYLE SHEET: FONT
These bubbly, bold fonts are
exactly what I need for my
shirt, because I want my
product to really show who I
am and what I’m all about. I
love that the light reflects on
the text that makes it seem
real and sticks out from the
page as if it was actually there.
I will use these for my main
title on my shirt, which is my

9. TYLE SHEET: IMAGE STYLE
The cartoon images are so
inspirational for my shirt because I
draw in cartoons too. The Power Puff
Girls and other cartoons have bold
black outline which defies the image
clearly, and I will use this for my
drawings. Also, the images are drawn
out in simple and non-complex
styles, so it wouldn’t be hard to
depict in the end. The Equestria girls
in the top left corner will be useful
for my character design, especially
the head design because the head of
the girls seem like a normal human
head shape in real life. Hopefully,

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

11. TYLE SHEET: COLOURS
These colours are so bright and
cheerful, the reason being is that I
wanted my story to be bright for there
is some advantages in my life.
However, there are some
disadvantages within my life such as
losing family members and psychosis,
but the dark colours come from the
cover where my eyes are closed and
the lips on my lips are not sad or
happy, but neutral. I will use these
bright colours to attract the audience
and help them think of happy

13. STYLE SHEET IMAGE STYLE:
COVER
All these covers have in common is
that they all have pictures of the
person who wrote it, hence that is
why it is called an autobiography
because through words on a page,
it reflects the writer’s life from a
specific part. This is very
inspirational for my product,
because I’m going to include a
picture of myself upon the cover so

14. STYLE SHEET IMAGE STYLE: TEXT IN
BOOK
The way that the text is organised in
these books is really good. They
describe different aspects of their
life, with the name of the chapter at
the top, and the beginning of the
part their life at the bottom. They do
go into detail about the aspects and
talk about them in personal detail
too. I will use this structure for my
own book because this is

15. TYLE SHEET IMAGE STYLE: BLURB
Some of the blurbs have a picture of the
writer on the back, which is good
because the audience can get a glimpse
of what the writer looks likes. They also
have enough detail of the book to
encourage the audience to read the
story. I will use these factors within my
product to draw my audience closer into
reading my story and embrace the facts
within. The only thing is, the characters

16. STYLE SHEETS: POSTER

17. STYLE SHEET: COLOURS
Most of these colours are
bright, exciting and

want the poster to only
promote advantages of my

involved. I will use all of these

interesting as well as exciting

The pictures of Mr Bean has both cartoon
and real life versions of the character,
which it really funny and entertaining. I will
use this effect within my poster where
there is a real life picture of me and a
cartoon version as well. This effect also
reflects on my liking to draw cartoons,
which is one of my biggest strengths. I’m
sure that this effect will make the audience
laugh and compliment on the drawing, not

20. LAYOUT 1: T-SHIRT
The paintbrush is
symbolising my love for
art and drawing, the
autism colours draw from
it like painting a picture.
The paw prints represent lucky as a
form of symbolism.
The Jigsaw pieces
resemble the
autism spectrum,
as does the
colours.
The yellow, red, blue and green represent the
colours of the autism spectrum which I am autistic
myself.
The pizza on the sleeve
represents the fact that I
love food, particularly fast
food such as Pizza Hut
and McDonalds. I know
that the are fatty, but
because of my autism, I
have a very specific food
taste.The blood bag is to
represent that fact
that I am indeed a
blood donor. I have
only donated once, I
hope in the future I
can donate more so
that my blood, which
is O+ can save the
lives of A+, B+, AB+
and O+ blood
I will use the
pencil tool to
create all these
drawings for the
computer design of
the shirt, probably
with a size scale of
17 or 18,
whichever is the
For the real
deal, I will be
using sharpies
to draw and
colour the
images as
planned.
The image of me is a cartoon
representation of I would look
like in the cartoons, and I tend
to have one eyebrow raised and
cross my arms.
The pictures will
give a clear idea of
I’m really all
about, and some
of these specify on
my poster as my
third product.
The sad face represents the fact
that I get upset quite often,
mainly over losing a loved one
in my family.
I decided to do my
drawings on a clear white
shirt because I thought the
drawings and font would
show up more than on a
darker shirt.
The shirt is designed for
awareness as well as
personal life of mine. It is
also made for educational
purposes.
This is lucky, who was and
still is my best friend of all.
He played an essential part
in my life.

21. LAYOUT 2: ANIMATIONThe red hair, opened
mouth and red dress
will be cut outs of a
picture of dark red felt.
I will use the lasso
polygon tool for this.
This speech bubble will visually show
what I am talking about in a much
better detail. Also, since this is an
educational video, there is a variety of
learners such as visual etc.
This font is an existing font, it is clear and easy to read.
This is good because I want my animation to be clear and
simple.
I will include sound effects such as
baby cries and my own cries to
show the factors coming to life.
The white part of the eye as
well as the small circle
reflection will be lasso polygon
cut out from picture of white
felt. It is not shown but on the
storyboard white collar will be
cut out of the same source.
The iris (colour of eye)
and the coffin that will
be shown will be cut-
out of a picture of
brown felt, used by the
same tool respectively.
The autism ribbon will be
cut out of red, yellow, light
blue and dark green felts
(different sources, not all in
one). I will use the same
tool for this and once all of
the pieces are cut out,
which is four parts of the
ribbon consisting of the
spectrum colours will be
pieced together like a
The skin
colour will be
cut out from a
picture of
beige felt and
used by the
same tool to
cut it out.
The background will be
made out of a picture of blue
felt just like the rest of the
layers.
The animation will run
as smoothly as
possible, but not to
complex because it
will be hard to
animate.The animation will
have four different
soundtracks that
showcase the
different factors of my
life.
The green ,
yellow, black and
white dress will
be made out of
green, yellow,
black and dark
green felt with
lasso tool again.
I chose these shades
of colours because
they will appear more
clearer on screen and
not blend into the
background so it is not
easier to see.

22. AYOUT 3 PART 1: BOOK COVER
have a picture of
me in the
background so
the audience can
recognise who the
writer is. Most
autobiography
covers have a
picture of the
writer on the
front, so I thought
it would be
necessary to add
effect to my own,
not meaning to
copy of anything
but it is a really
nice touch. The
audience would
love this picture
because it is not
sad or happy, but
more of a neutral
The name of the book will be composed out of the font of Bauhaus93, with another
layer of the same title but a different colour. The main title will have a yellow
tone to it to make it stand out more, and the background colour will be a hot
pink colour. The same goes for my name except the background colour will be a
hot purple colour.
The faded white here is another effects so
that it looks like I am fading away into peace.
Some of the existing autobiographies have
this effect and it does show an element of
peace and kindness. I will use the brush tool
for this effect in Photoshop.
The audience will
certainly love this
effect because it
gives them a
glimpse over what
they may expect
within the story.
They would
believe that there
is some mystery
surrounding my
life and they could
be right or wrong.

23. YOUT 3 PART 2: TEXT ( EXAMPLE: BEGINNING OF CHAPTER 1)
The first section of the
chapter will be the
introduction to my life as
well as saying where the
story starts and where it
ends. The font I will be
using is Arial Rounded MT
Bold because it is a bouncy
yet simple font.
The title will be a bold version of the text so it
stands out more and does not blend into the
bold difference.
This section
reflects on hallway
through the
beginning of my
life when mum
wakes up and saw
me next to her, she
was delighted to
see me. I weighed a
lot lighter than my
young cousin. This
section dedicates
on the middle part
of an event.
The second
section is all
about the time I
was born and how
much I weighed.
This part is the
second pat of an
event when
constructing it. I
also explain that
when I was born,
my mum fell
asleep because
she lost a lot of
blood when I
came along.
Eventually, she
woke up and saw
There will be a picture at the bottom of each page or between
the text showcasing visually what I am talking about. This is
for visual learners and those who don’t draw attention to
words but more towards images. I’m sure that the audience
will appreciate this. Since I am a visual learner myself, I
thought it was the best was to add images for other visual
learners to see. I will use Photoshop for this effect.
This is the part where I had
my heel pricked to find out
what blood group I am.
When I cry, the audience
may feel sorry for me
because of this but all
babies go through this
process. This is the final
part of the event part.

24. AYOUT 3 PART 3: BLURB
The blurb’s contents
show what the main
story is about in a few
words, pretty much a
simplified explanation of
the story’s contents. This
is very common on
books and so I thought
to add this would make
the audience cringe with
excitement.
The background colour is a light yellow. This is because one
to match my jumper a little bit and two, light yellow is a
softening colour and so I thought a soft background will
bring the audience peaceful and happy thoughts.
The white glow surrounding
me, the text and the rainbow is
a sign of peace and happiness.
White seemed like the obvious
choice for colour because
when I think of peaceful
thoughts, a shine of light
appears before me, meaning I
am thinking good instead of
bad. I guarantee this will help
the audience think of the very
same thing: happy thoughts. I
will use the brush tool for this.
myself, since most
autobiographies have a
picture of the writer on
the blurb, I thought it
was necessary to add a
picture of myself to the
image. This is good for
the audience because
they will get a glimpse
over the identity of the
writer, and some of the
features within the
book reflect upon the
changes of my
appearance such as
change in hair colour
and style, wearing
glasses sometimes.
This would certainly
come useful for the
audience. I will use the
cut out tool for this.
The rainbow is a symbol of the fact that I
like to think of bright, happy colours, that
come together to for something of a
spectrum. Rainbows are supposed to be a
sign of happiness anyway, so I guarantee the
audience will think that there is happiness
within the book when they see this rainbow.
I will use the pencil tool for this effect.
The barcode is to show that this
product must be paid before taking it
for keeps. Like all products, this is
common especially because the
barcode depicts the fact that the item
has an individual code that the store
can identify if it is stolen or a product
that shouldn’t be released at all. The
audience will surely agree.

25. LAYOUT 4:
POSTER
This cartoon
representation of me
shows that love to
draw and animate,
hence the title Artist.
This is good for the
audience because
they can identify one
of my strengths and
if they themselves
were an artist, they
would understand.
The colours within
the picture really do
stand out and make
the image go POP.
The blood bag is to
show that I am
indeed a blood
donor, a massive
achievement in my
life by saving the
life of someone else
with my own life
force. The audience
may think of me as
some kind of hero
but I don’t want to
brag about it, I’m
only doing it for the
good and to please
The title here which depicts what I am is all true. It is
presented in a clear font, which is Berlin Sans FB Demi.
The colour also stands out and not blend into the
rainbow background.
The rainbow background is
to show that I think of happy
thoughts and that loved ones
are at peace now. I’m sure
the audience will agree. The
background really does stand
out in a beautiful presence.
The smiley face and
the jigsaw is to
show that I am an
autistic and that I
am proud to be
one. It also shows
that with my
autism, I can draw
fluently and
professionally with
my cartoon.
The same picture that
was on the blurb will
appear reflecting the
cartoon image, this will
show my true self and
identity.
The name of the poster is my name that is most used by friends and
family, without my middle name. The font of the title is the very same font
as the description. The back layer is dowsed in a indigo blue colour so
that the front text would stand out clearly in a 3D style. Then the top
cover come in a hot pink colour so it would stand out and not blend into
the background. The audience would be excited for this because they do
enjoy 3D titles and it could mean hype content is included in my

I was born on the

2011, weighing 6
pounds 6 ounces

Three years later I joined the
school’s nursery, as far as I
remember, I did enjoy it
there. When my time there
was done, I moved onto
Wilberfoss Primary.
Chapter 3:
Losing
Grandad and
Auntie Sarah
When I began
foundation stage,
everything seemed ok,
but then my behaviour
slipped downhill oddly.
Specialists had to get
involved to observe my
behaviour, and what they
found was not a good
thing.
I received all of
my GCSE’s and
didn’t have to
retake them at
College, I was so
chuffed with
myself.
Unfortunately, a year
later, a tragedy we
didn’t expect would
come sooner rather
than later.
Lucky’s health had
gotten worse over
night and it was
time to say
goodbye.
It was too soon and
I’d wish is was just a
nightmare, but it’s all
part of the cycle of
life.
What the specialists
discovered was that I
have a small portion of
Autism.
Autism is a
mental
disorder that
affects the

factors of an
individual.
Over the
years, I

I attended his funeral,
where I read out a poem
showing how much he
means to me and how

30. CONTINGENCY PLANNING
Potential Issue Solution
A computer that I'm working on may not
have the Photoshop software
downloaded. It may not have the access
to certain parts of the internet as well.
I should work on another part of the
project such as the reflections on
PowerPoint or the evaluation in the mean
time.
The computer I would be working at may
be broken or damaged in some way such
as a technical glitch or a problem with the
internet.
Move onto another computer and log on
to it. Make sure it is reliable and no
problems will occur, however we’ll never
know.
The internet images may not be reliable
and fitting towards my products.
Create my own images from scratch and
create my own fonts by drawing it.
I might make a mistake upon any of my
drawings or images on Photoshop. Or
maybe a past mistake is need so I can
edit it.
I can us the redo and undo tools on the
Edit section of the Photoshop software.
The undo's and redo's may come in the
form of undo brush tool or pencil.
The lasso cut out tool may not be reliable
when it comes to cutting out the images
if needed. It works freely and not under
control.
Use the other tools: Lasso polygon tool or
the magnet tool to cut out the image in a
attracted and controlled style.
The size of the pencil tool may not be the
right size for my drawings. It could make
the image blurry if too big
Use the size scroll to choose the best size
for the drawing and rescale it for the
perfect fit. Therefore it will not be blurry.
My animation may not run smoothly as
expected, it may run all stiff and not

need to be moved around in order to

31. HEALTH AND SAFETY
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
I may obtain strain in eyes from looking at
screen for a long time. Strain in eyes may
also cause a headache as the strain feeling
spreads.
Take a break for about 5-10 minuets and
look away form the screen in order for my
eyes to go back to normal.
The brightness of the screen may be to
bright to handle, may cause eyes to sting
and get hurt in the process.
Turn the brightness of the computer down
on the settings or look away from the
screen for a few minuets until your eyes
are restored back to normal.
I may become stressed over a simple
difficulty or a problem that would occur
such as a glitch or a technical problem
and may get stressed over deadline if
project is delayed due to problems.
Ask for help from tutor or IT and they will
help me fix the problem. I can also tell my
tutor that I’m stressed and worried about
the deadlines due the maybe prolonged
problem.
From sitting in the chair for a long time, I
could sustain back pain, an uncomfortable
feeling in my back.
Take a break by standing up and
stretching my back to feel more
comfortable. Or maybe get a more
comfortable chair such as a adjusting
chair.
Do not have food or drinks at the
computer or I may spill any liquids upon
the computer, breaking it.
Ask for a break outside for a snack and
drink and take a break.
Finger pain may inflict upon myself after
repetitive typing.
Take a break from typing and loosen my
arms and stretch my fingers in order to
