1) The document describes several graphic narrative experiments including digital photography, illustration, comic book effects, and rotoscope work.
2) For the illustration experiment, the creator drew a reference image which took 1.5 hours and captured clear details, though some proportions were challenging.
3) The comic book effects used filters to give images a cell-shaded comic book style in only 5 minutes, making colors stand out against skin and text.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Dive into the innovative world of smart garages with our insightful presentation, "Exploring the Future of Smart Garages."

This style involved the use of my phone camera to photograph my friend displaying
a variety of different emotions that are exaggerated and varied. What I like about the
images were the distinguishable emotions and the simplicity and clarity, making it
easier to view the emotions being put forward.
Creation of the images was very fast, the fastest method I think, that involved
photographing my friend displaying different emotions. At most this took around two
minutes to focus the image and adopt a pose.
This style is suitable for a wide range of audiences depending on the after effects
used and the context of the images. Since the photos are very workable they could
be put into a wide variety of situations, thus making a wide range of different stories
possible.
The equipment suitable for this task would be a phone with photographing
capabilities, and a computers to upload the images to.

This experiment involved the use of pencils, paper and a reference image on the
internet to create an original freehand drawing. What I like about this image is the
detail incorporated and how clear the image is, as well as being able to design it all
how I want. The colour and hard outlines makes the image very distinguishable.
Creation of this image took me around an hour and a half as I worked at a slower
pace to make sure I got proportions and details correct, and the image turned out
better as a result. While the process was very straightforward, drawing some of the
details correctly was challenging.
This experiment uses a style that is very similar to many artist’s styles in children’s
books, which use basic but charming pencil drawings for their illustrations. This
creates a great kid-friendly yet timeless feel by using simple techniques and
equipment.
Using this style will appeal to any age based on the content of the drawing, whether
it be more cartoonish or adopting a more serious style.
Equipment needed for this style is a pencil and paper, colours if needed, and if
slightly amateur, a reference image from the internet.

In this piece I have used the Cutout filter and the threshold tool to create an effect
that has a cell shaded style similar to that in comic books. What I like about this
image is that the colours now stand out much more than in the original and bring out
a great combination with the skin tone and blood red text.
Creating this image only took around 5 minutes thanks to knowledge of the tools
used and relative simplicity of the process.
Similar products to this design might be fan made images that sometimes use a cell
shaded style as opposed to the normal style used by the source. They tend to use
the same tools I used or more professional techniques.
My design will appeal pretty much only to fans of Dexter or those who like cell
shaded ‘comic book’ styles.
The only resources needed would be a computer and a copy of Photoshop, and
likely an internet connection to upload the designs. Sufficient knowledge of
Photoshop would be needed.

This piece involved the use of the Polygonal Lasso tool and Colour Overlay to
create the rotoscope effect, with each piece of the face and body being drawn
individually to build up the picture in a cartoon style. What I like about this piece is
the detail in the forehead and mouth, as well as the generally accurate proportions
and shape of the face.
Similar products to this have a good chance of appearing in graphic novels and
children’s books thanks to the simple but effective art style. It is a good but
somewhat less used style. This style can appeal to children plus adults who enjoy a
cell shaded style.
Resources needed for this style would be Photoshop, computer and Photoshop
knowledge.

I think that the majority of majority of experiments undertaken were
successful and a few are very suited towards the style I want and need for
my chosen narrative. In particular, the illustration and comic book effects
are very stylish and I would like to incorporate one of the two or a
combination of both in my final product. However, I feel like the rotoscope
and digital photography would not work very well in my narrative, as I would
like to have a lot of drawn detail and rotoscoping an image tends to lose a
great deal of detail. Digital photography is not very flexible in that only real
life pictures can be used.
I feel as if I need some more practice in illustration, because while my
drawing is mostly correct and I am happy with it, there are still several
errors relating to proportion and detail. Also, I would like to further master
the use of different filters in Photoshop in order to produce some great
looking effects.
