The document discusses different options for creating a children's book including illustration, digital photography, comic book effects, and rotoscoping. The author evaluates each option and decides that rotoscoping in Photoshop is best suited for their skills and the time constraints of the project. Rotoscoping allows them to digitally trace over photographs to create cartoon-like drawings for their book about The Little Mermaid while avoiding the lengthy process of illustration. Overall, the experiments helped determine that rotoscoping is the best graphic narrative technique for the author's abilities and deadline.

Personally, I think that for my final product I wont use illustration and it takes a lot of
time and takes a lot skill to make it look good, neither of which I have. The way it is
going I think I will use digital photography, followed by rotoscoping it on Photoshop
as I think I am good at this and it wont take a lot of time as I know what I am doing.

I have decided not to create my children's book using illustrations as it would take
me a long time as I don’t find drawing the easiest thing to do and to not even
complete a small, not very detailed drawing of Ariel, it took me an hour and a half.
Although, I think illustrations would be a nice effect to a childs book but I do not
have the time or the skill to put detailed illustrations in.

I have chose to do a childrens book and the childrens book I have chosen to do is
the danish fairytale, The Little Memaid, by Hans Christian Andersen. I am going to
my graphic narrative cartoon style, I decided this after I used the comic book effect
on my two pictures of Kylie Jenner and Cara Delevigne, I decided that the this effect
wouldn’t be to extreme and wouldn’t fit in with my book. After creating my own
illustration, I decided that drawing my pictures wouldn’t be the best idea as after a
hour and a half/2 hours my drawing wasn’t even nearly finished.

I have come to the conclusion that for my pictures in my children's book, I will use
rotoscoping on Photoshop to create my pictures. I used Photoshop rotoscoping on
my picture of Kanye West and I think it works really well which is why I think I’ll use
that on my book.

Overall Evaluation
I think my experiments well. I think illustration will not be suited to my work as I
explained previously due to the time and skill needed, but rotoscoping will as I am
more advanced in this I think.
I think my skill of rotoscoping is good but does have space for improvement, I can
practice this during my time creating my book.
