Add additional slides as you need to. Don’t be restricted by what is here.
Any blank slides should be deleted before submission.
3. Does your final product reflect your
original intentions?
• Compare your planning/digital flat plans/
storyboards to your final product
My final product does reflect my original intentions with some parts of the
story, like the environment, changed. I think that my planning did help when I
was making the pages, but some parts I just changed on the spot.
4. How well have you constructed your
images?
• How well have you constructed your images?
You could talk about the overall visual
appearance and well as the use of texture and
colour.
I’ve constructed my images mainly on the spot, since my flat plans only really
had where the characters would be stood and what they would be near. The
colours I used in most of the pages are fairly dark, as most of my story is set
during the night, and only two pages are set during the day and have brighter
colours.
5.
6. How well have you used text to anchor
your images
• You should talk about the combination of
words, images and text.
I think that my text anchors my text very well, as the text clearly matches
what’s happening and can show what might have happened in the time space
between each page.
7. Is your product suitable for your
audience?
• Reference your proposal
• Give an audience profile and describe
suitability in reference to content
I think that my product is suitable for my audience because I followed my
proposal to make sure that I didn’t go off course and make my book too
obscene. I also checked my proposal to make sure that I followed the main
story and made sure that all my pages were in the right order.
8. What do you like/dislike about the
techniques you have used?
• Reference specific tools you used with images
The tool that I probably used most was the Lasso tool, which I used to create
my characters/environment. What I liked about it was that it was easy to cut
out part of the image that I needed, but what I didn’t like was that sometimes
it didn’t accurately cut out the part of the image that I wanted. Another tool
that I used quite a lot was the Eyedropper Tool to select the colour of the
image that I cut out, I didn’t like that sometimes it didn’t select the right
shade of colour.
9. What do you like/dislike about how
your final product looks?
I like that my final product reflects my flat plans and follows the story set in
my proposal. I also like that my final product
One thing that I don’t like is how some of my characters are positioned,
because I thought that the position would work when I took the picture, but
when I when to rotoscope it, it didn’t work as well as the way I wanted it too.
One way that rotoscoping my images did work for me was changing the
colour of the image, since the part of the image that I was changing was on a
separate layer, it was easy to change the colour to what I wanted.

11. Why did you include the content you
used?
• Images, fonts, effects, colours
I included the images is used because they were directly related to the time that
my book was set in as well as including the items that my characters would need,
such as Robin Hood’s bow and arrows.
I used a certain font because I think that it closely resembles the format of writing
that was used in medieval times.
I used fairly dark colours because most of my story is set during the night and the
background, at least, needed to be fairly dark so that people would know and not
have to figure it out for themselves.
I used the Stroke effect on each of my images, so that people would be able to tell
each part of the image apart and not think that it was all one piece.
12. With this image, I used darker
colours on the background to
set it apart from the characters
and so that people wouldn’t
struggle to tell my characters
apart. The colours I used for
Robin Hood were to make him
seem like he lives in the forest
and knows how to blend in. I
used the Stroke effect to give
everything an outline so that
people could tell different
parts from each other.
With my character, I used a
colour scheme that would
match the environment
what my story is set in.
13. What signs, symbols or codes have
your used in your work?
• Choices of colour, style, locations, character
design and tone all give additional meaning to
your work.
I chose mainly green and brown colours because my story takes place in a forest
which is also why I made the colours of my main character the same as well. The
location I chose was a forest because it worked best with the story and is also the
location from the original story.
The characters in my story were inspired by the original characters, but I’ve
changed a few things about them, like their appearance and personalities.
Since most of my story takes place at night, this could give a hidden meaning to
the story, stating that it might have a dark theme to it.
14. What representations can be found in
your work?
• How are men, women or children shown in your
work? Does your work feature different ages,
races, social groups or religions? Does a lack of
any variety of character types create its own
representation?
My work does have a lack of variety of characters since all my characters are male
and white, only because I when I was creating the characters, I was only focused
on making them rather then focusing on their race and gender.
The only representation of religion in my product is the church in few of the
pages, this wasn’t intentional as I was only looking for something to fill the space
and would fit within the medieval times.
15. What style have you employed in your
products?
• Discuss influences/ existing products
• What visual style does your work have and
why did you choose it?
One thing, other then the original story, that influenced me with my story was
the hit TV show, Arrow, which influenced the attitude for my characters and
how they’re seen by other characters in the book.
The type of style that I’ve used in my work is cartoon style. The reason for this
was because of the way my test page turned out and I liked the way it looked
and was easy for me to redo on all my pages.
16. What were the strengths and weaknesses
of the pre-production and planning
• How did the planning and research help
• How well did you manage your time
• Reference specific examples
Some of the strengths of my pre-production and planning was that I knew the
scenes that I wanted to make and what exactly was going to be included. Other
strengths were that I also knew what characters I wanted in which scene. Another
strength was that I was able to plan where everything would be within each scene
and make changes to them if it were needed.
Some of the disadvantages were that not all of my flat plans worked when it came
to actually making the scene, or not all of my characters were in the right
positions. Another weakness is that I couldn’t
17. Historical and cultural context
• How does your work compare to what has
come before? What other similar products
have existed in the past? What current
products exist?
My book’s based around the original story of Robin Hood which some of the
character’s appearances changed as well as their personalities. Part of my
book could be compared to Arrow since my characters aren't like they are in
any other versions.
