Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like all the detailing in my image that I added in using
colour range and adjusting the colour to green. I
especially like the textures in the background of my
image as it makes my image not look more realistic.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to redo this image I would focus more in
adding more detail and texture to the fur of the
panda.

Evaluation
I like the bright colours on the parrot and how the
edges are sharp and jagered. I also like the texture
of the feathers on the bird.
If I did this image again I would change the colours
in the background and focus more on big blocks of
colour instead of just using colour range for
texture.

Evaluation
My favourite part of this image is the eyes, as I
feel they are very bold. I also feel that they look
very realistic
If I was to create this image again, I would
experiment with a larger range of colours to make
the picture look more realistic.

Evaluation
My favourite part of this image the black and
white theme. I also tried to keep my image very
cartoon like and did not use to much detail.
experiment with different filters and tools to
expand my skills on photoshop.

Evaluation
I like the background image of my text and how
the bright orange makes my text stand out. I also
like how my text has a white border that is
raised, making my text look like it is coming out
of the screen.

Evaluation
I like the shape of the image behind my text and
how it fits in with the letters. I also like the shape
of the text and how it elongates the image.
If I was to create this image again, I would add a
border to my letters to make them bolder and
easier to see.

Evaluation
I like how the fire at the back of my image is only
over the word “burn” as it emphasises the word
and makes it stand out. I also like the shape of the
flow of text as I feel it is interesting to look at.
If I was to create this text again, I would
experiment with different fonts and sizes.

Evaluation
I like the colours and cartoonist feel to this image.
I also like that there is still a lot of detail to the
face and body in this image.
experiment with a more abstract filter and use less
detail.

Evaluation
I like all off the colours in this image and how the
image is very sharp and bold. I also like the use of a
less amount of detail to make this image appear
that it is created on a computer.
experiment with darker colours to make the image
bold.

Evaluation
I like how the background has been edited out of this
image due to the filter and has create a lot of negative
space around the central figure. This makes the yellow
tones stand out and are eye catching.
If I was to make this image again, I would experiment
with softer lines and a lighter colours.

Evaluation
I like the softness to this image and how the lines
are not to drastic and does not make the image as
bold. I also like the soft lines accompanied by the
light colours.
If I was to create this image again, I would focus
more on the shadows and highlights of the figures.

Evaluation
I like the shadows in this image that emphasises
the muscles and structures of the figures,
highlighting the movement.
If I was to create this image again, I would like to
use a more unrealistic filter to create a picture out
of my image.

Evaluation
I like the honeycomb shape filter on my image and
how it takes the image out of focus and looks like
individual pixels.
experiment with a paint brush filter to make the
image look very soft.

Evaluation
I like the composition of this image and how the
corridor leads to the subject at the centre of the
image. I also like the expression on the subjects face
and the movement in this image.
If I was to take this image again, I would prefer a
plainer background as it would make the subject
stand out more.

Evaluation
I like the close frame of this image and how the
image is very bright to highlight the happy
expression of the subject.
If I was to take this picture again, I would like to
have a more natural expression with the subject
caught off guard and not looking at the camera.

Evaluation
I like the angle and composition of this image as the
negative space helps add to the emotion that is
presented.
I would have preferred a more central composition
for this image. However, I feel this method would be
very time consuming to make a childrens book as
there is a lot to think about in terms of location,
costume and storyline.

Evaluation
I like the colours and details in my image that
creates texture to the image and makes it more
interesting to look at .
If I was to recreate this image, I would improve the
use of different colours and add more detail to the
subject. I could also change my subject matter to
something with more detail.

Big and
strong
character
.
Blue cape and gray

PDF- Possible Document Format
Advantages: PDF files are assessable to most computers and devices, they
cannot be edited and are easy to view with high quality images. They are very
quick and easy to create and the file sizes are small enough to be emailed.
Disadvantages: Disadvantages to PDFs are that they take a while to download
and can only be opened using the adobe software. The software however is only
available on windows and apple software.
Story Overview
In my story, a young child named Jace, visits the world biggest toy store in the world (In
Gotham). Jace is excited to play with a world famous brand new toy robot however, when
Jace arrives at the store, he finds that the toy has been stolen and Batman appears to
save the day. Jace goes with Batman to find the Joker who has stolen the robot. Batman
has a fight with the joker and defeats him with his batarang. Jace catches the failing robot
and goes back to the store with Batman and everything returns to normal.

Production Methods
I am going to use rotoscoping to create my images as I like the cartoon feel to
the method but how the images can also look very realistic. I feel this method
would be perfect for the characters. I also like the comic book technique
where I can add filters which I feel would be good for the backgrounds in my
book. I will also used text based method to create titles on the cover of my
book and sound effects when the joker and batman have a fight.
Audience
My target audience for my book is boys aged 7-11. I feel that superheroes
and action is more stereotyped to boys and that girls like princess, especially
as my target audience is very young, parents are more likely to stick to these
stereotypes. The social class of my target audience will be middle class,
however I do not think this effects my target audience as this book is aimed at
children. My book will be written in English so its geodemographic it is limited
to English speaking countries.
Deadline
16th October

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
The strengths of this proposal is the detail. The
audience is described with good information
about boys like and what girls like.
The areas of your proposal you need to consider
is that you haven’t finished how many pages you
are going to do for your book and the size of the
book.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
The Mindmap was detailed and it had lots of
information about the story you have chosen.
You have thought a lot about your idea.
You could have created your own superhero.
This would have been good to do because you
can expand the story more.

It is a very detailed proposal and if followed to
the detail put in, it will be a good story/comic.
The only area that needs more work in the
proposal is the number of pages and the size of
the pages.
further developed?
It is detailed, there are many options that were
thought about, Batman was a good choice
because there’s a specific location and he
already has his main rival the Joker and there are
already drawing and animations that you can use
to make your own.
You could have maybe created your own
superhero.

The proposal clearly present your idea and how
you are going to develop and create it.
Be careful with spelling mistakes in your story
over view and your production method there are
only a few and a few sentence that could be re-worded
further developed?
Your idea generation shows many developed
ideas that have been thought through well. You
have presented a spider diagram for each theme
you have thought as this has helped to create
your story well.
Maybe have looked into other superheroes its all
pretty good to be honest.

Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
I am happy with the feedback I have received and they all seem to talk about my
mind maps and how they lots of detail. My feedback also mentions that my theme
of superheroes is good as I can explore lots of different stories and characters. All
my feedback mentioned that I could have created my own super hero.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
I agree that my mind maps are very detailed and that my chosen theme is go
because there are lots of different stories and comics of Batman that I can explore
and lots of different villains I can include in my story.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
I disagree that I could have made my own super hero as I feel it would have been
to time consuming and I did not really have a idea about an original super hero as
it would have been to similar to a existing super hero. Using a super hero that is
already created is a lot easier I feel as I can create a story but use familiar figures.

Original Script
Johnny Fairchild, age 5, looked out the taxicab window. He was very excited. All around him were the
skyscrapers of Gotham City. Gotham was even bigger than he had imagined back at home in Roswell,
Georgia, with Mom, Dad, and Jacob. Johnny still couldn't believe he had won the radio contest. The prize
was a free trip to the Toy Tower, the world's biggest toy store! It was closing for the night, and Johnny
was going to have the whole store to play in. As Johnny was getting out of the cab, he noticed a delivery
van speeding away from the store. The side of the van had the words "Felini Movers" written on it.
Johnny caught a glimpse of the driver as the van passed. The driver was wearing a dark mask with pointy
ears." That's weird," Johnny thought. Maybe the driver was going to a costume party after work. Johnny
shrugged. Gotham City was a strange place. Johnny wanted to play with the world-famous KAT-2000, a
cat-shaped robot made just for kids. It could play games, help with chores, even make milkshakes. Toy
Tower had the only one in the whole world! But when Johnny went inside, he learned that the KAT-2000
had been stolen. The police were looking for clues. But the thief had left no trace. The store manager
sighed. "We may never get the KAT-2000 back," she said." Don't be so sure of that," said a deep
voice. Everyone turned to look. Johnny couldn't believe it. Batman was here! Just then, Johnny
remembered something important. He told Batman about the strange van he had seen." The driver was
wearing a dark mask with pointy ears?" asked Batman. "Hmmm...""There's something else," Johnny
said. "I heard on TV that the KAT-2000 runs on a special kind of battery. Won't the thief need a supply of
those?" Yes." Batman looked at Johnny. "Could you identify that van if you saw it again?" Johnny
nodded. Batman smiled. "Would you like to take a ride?" Johnny followed Batman to the Batmobile. He
could hardly believe this was happening." Where are we going?" he asked." To the Supervolt Battery
Factory," Batman said.

Original Script
"That's where the KAT-2000's battery pack is made. I have a feeling you're right--the thief will have to
stock up on the special batteries, or the robot will be useless." The Batmobile zoomed through the streets
of Gotham City. In no time at all Batman and Johnny reached the factory." There it is!" Johnny cried. The
"Felini Movers" delivery van was parked outside the factory. A dark figure was loading crates into the
van. In the glow of a streetlight Johnny saw the pointy ears of a mask." That's the driver I saw," he told
Batman." Just as I suspected," Batman said. "It's Catwoman." He pointed to something shiny in the back
of the van. "And there's the KAT-2000.""Catwoman, it's all over," Batman announced as he leapt from
the Batmobile. "That's what you think," Catwoman replied. She grabbed the KAT-2000 and ran. Batman
threw his Batarang, winding a rope around her legs." Look out!" Johnny yelled. "The KAT-2000 is going to
fall. "Johnny jumped out of the Batmobile and caught the KAT-2000 just before it hit the ground. The
robot was safe." Nice work, Johnny," said Batman." Drat!" cried Catwoman. "I really wanted that
robot. It's purr-fect for me. "I get it," Johnny said. "You're a KAT burglar!" Back home in Roswell,
Georgia, Johnny told Mom, Dad, and Jacob all about his exciting adventure. The police had arrived and
arrested Catwoman. Batman slipped away into the shadows. The manager of Toy Tower was thrilled to
get the KAT-2000 back. Johnny finally got his tour of the toy store--with the amazing robot as his
guide. And best of all, Johnny got a postcard in the mail." Dear Johnny," it said. "Thanks for your help
solving the KAT-2000 crime. I couldn't have done it without you. Batman.”
