1) The document describes Sophie's process for creating a children's book about animals at a petting zoo.
2) She outlines each step, including drawing backgrounds, adding animals, inserting text, and troubleshooting page sizes during printing and cutting.
3) In the end, Sophie has her book professionally printed and bound in a ring binder, and adds fabric elements glued onto pages to represent different animals and textures from the story.
2. Process
For the start of production I started off with the
Background because the book needs to be colourful
So that the child can use one of their 4 senses. For
This even though I had drawn the grass already to
Trace over I still found it easier to draw it free
Handed. For this I used the pencil tool and the paint
Bucket tool to fill in with the blue.
3. Process
For the background I ended up
adding a dun and some clouds just to
make the background that bit more
colourful. When I traced the cow I
found it easier to just trace over it
with the pencil tool then using the
other tool. After I traced the cow I got
rid of the white background from the
paper using the magic wand tool. I
moved the cow on top of the grass so
it looks like it's sitting on top of the
grass.
4. process
To add the text used defonts.com to get the
Text / fonts. I wanted to use a three different
Fonts to make it more interesting. I used the snipping
Tool to take a screenshot of the defont text. I place
Embedded it onto the page and used the magic wand
Tool to get rid of the white outline / background.
5. Process
For the lizard I wasn't sure on
what to do fir the background
and so I had to look on google
images for inspiration. I also
added scales will go with the
fabric that I have for the reptile
page. For this I used the pencil
tool, and I also used the magic
wand tool to get rid of the
white background from the
paper.
6. Process
The light was a last decision
because I forgot that reptiles
need light to keep walm. I
needed to make sure that I
made it the same size as the
cow, but because it's more
lengthy then the other
characters. The flies were
pretty easy to make I just
added some black dots
together and some grey lines.
7. process
Here I added 2 different types of fonts
Because there’s already a lot going on in this
Picture, 3 or more different fonts may be a bit to
Much. For this I used the defonts.com and I also used
The snipping tool.
8. Process
For this background I stared off
with colouring it in blue using
the paint bucket tool. Then I
coloured the bottom of the
page with a sandy cream
colour, I sued the pencil tool
and the paint bucket tool to fill
in the bottom. For the cloud I
used the pencil tool but I made
the brush thicker and I just put
6 dots together to make a
cloud shape.
9. process
For the lion I place embedded
it from my files, and traces
over the tracing using the
pencil tool. After I finished the
lion I took all the white away
from the background, to do
this I used the magic wand
tool. And I also used control T
to move the lion and to make
it the same size as the other
characters.
10. process
I added some meat because
lions eat raw meat, I added it
to the lions mouth and on the
floor around the lion. For
my next animal I needed to
make sure I took more
screenshots, so the examiner
knows what I'm doing and
what I've made
improvements to.
11. process
Next I used defont.com to
get the fonts that I wanted
for this page. I took a
screenshot of the text
and saved it into my file.
After that I place
embedded the screenshot
onto the page. And I used
the magic wand tool to get
rid of the white outline.
12. process
For this background I wasn't
to sure on what to add so
I added a tree trunk and
some darker green lines in
the background to give it that
vinal effect. I also wanted to
add some detail to the tree
trunk because it looked a bit
bare so I added some lines
and a spiral.
13. process
I place embedded the monkey
and first outlined the monkey
with a darker brown. I place it
where I wanted to place it at
first. I used the pencil tool to
outline the monkey. And I took
a screenshot before I did or
added anything else.
14. process
For the next part I used the paint
Bucket tool to fill in the monkey. And I also
Used the magic wand tool to get rid of the
White back ground, I also used the blur tool
To blur the lines of the monkey so it doesn’t
Look like a sticker.
15. process
Next I used defont.com
to get the fonts that I
wanted for this page. I took
a screenshot of the
text and saved it into
my file. After that I
place embedded the
screenshot onto the page.
And I used the magic wand
tool to get rid of the white
outline.
16. process
The first thing I did was
coloured in the background
with blue using the paint
bucket tool. Next I drew an
uneven line in an orange
colour and filled it in using
the paint bucket tool, and
used the pencil tool to
draw lines so it looks like
hay. next I drew a fence
and some clouds to make it
look more like a bunny's
pen.
17. process
Next I place embedded the
bunny onto
the background and
started off with the outline
of the bunny. For the eyes I
put the pencil in black and
I put it on a thick setting
and put 2 big dots and 2
small white dots into the
eyes so it doesn't look as
creepy.
18. process
After I finished with
colouring the rabbit I got rid
of the white outline using
the magic want tool. Next I
used control T to move the
rabbit so it looked like it is
on top of the hay.
19. process
Next I used
defont.com to get the fonts
that I wanted for this page.
I took a screenshot of
the text and saved it
into my file. After
that I place embedded
the screenshot onto the
page. And I used the magic
wand tool to get rid of the
white outline.
20. process
Started off by colouring the white
Background, blue using the paint bucket
Tool. Then I drew some clouds and a sun,
Then I added some grass and flowers, the
Flowers make the background more
Colourful. and a and sign so the children
Know that it's the entrance to the petting
Zoo.
21. process
I added a little girl onto the
background but she looked a
little to realistic for the
drawing that I did. Because I
got her from google. I placed
her onto the path so it
looked like she'd be greeting
her customers.
22. process
I added my title onto the
sign so that my readers
know what the book is
called. For this I used the
text box from photoshop
and I chose the font that I
thought would look best
on the sign.
23. process
Next I changed the hair
colour and started on the
outline of her clothing. I
changed the colour so that
I don't get copy write
strike. I used the pencil
tool on a thin tip so that it
didn't look messy.
24. process
I also changed the colour
of her hat and her shoes so
that it didn't look identical
to what she looked like
before. So with me
changing the colour of her
outfit and hair hopefully I
won't get copy write
striked.
25. process
For the background I
coloured in the white
background with blue, for
this I used the paint bucket
tool, I added some clouds
and the sun. Next I drew
and uneven line and
coloured it in with the
paint bucket tool with the
colour green. I added some
flowers to make it more
colourful.
26. process
I added a ÂŁ3 sticker so that
the customers know how
much the book is, and also
a barcode as well so that
the customer can scan the
product.
27. process
Next I laid out all of the pages onto publisher
So I could make it into a proper book. This
Helped me see what it would look like set up as
A proper book. It was pretty easy to do because
I just had to copy and paste the images over.
And I wanted to see which pages look better
With what.
28. process
I realised that the right page will have to be
Upside down so the pages will come out the
Correct way to assemble my book. I had to make
Sure the pages came out all the same size so they
Printed out all the same size. The blue outline of
The square helped me out to get them all the same
Size.
29. process
Once I printed them out I cut them using the guillotine, this
Helped me cut them all out equally. It also cut them out
Straight because my product wouldn’t look professional if it
Was wonky. However it was really hard to get used to and to
Get rid of the very last bit of white border.
30. process
Once I got used to it I decided to try and cut more then one page,
Which was much quicker and much easier. By this point I figured out
How to cut all of the white border off without cutting too much of the
Actual background off. My first page I cut I did it bigger then the other
Ones so I’m going to have to cut it a bit more so that it’s the same size
As the other pages.
31. process
The first try of cutting the pages didn’t really work because
Some of the pages came out too big or too small and some
Had white edge, so it was a fail. Also when trying to get them
All the same size I cut the bigger ones smaller but they either
Ended up wonky or have half the writing missing.
32. process
Because I couldn’t get all the pages the same I got one
Of my classmates to help, and see If he could get them
The same size. We marked the new page with the old
Page so we knew where we wanted to cut, we did that
With all of the pages and cut them with the guillotine.
33. process
That didn’t work because they once again came out different
Sizes, and some had the text cut off them again. But they weren’t
As bad as the first try, so I decided to give it another try to see if I
Could get the next ones perfect.
34. process
This time I decided to try and cut them a different way so
Instead of sticking them in the middle, sticking them closer
To the edge so then I’ll have less to cut and they’ll hopefully
Come out the same size. For the first couple of pages I cut
They came out pretty good, and roughly the same size
Some of them had white bits but nothing that wasn’t
Fixable.
35. process
Once I finished that round it ended up not working, so
I thought instead of wasting anymore paper and print ink
I decided to get my pages done at the reprographics,
I could get them printed, cut the same size and laminated.
When we took the pages to reprographics and they told us
That because we were getting it laminated I didn’t have to
Use the card that has been used over the past couple of
Days.
36. process
When I went to go and collect the book form reprographics
My teacher and I had a conversation with the staff and he
Showed us what we could use to put the book together. So I
Decided on using a ring binder to put the book together and so
The pages could turn on my book. Once I got back to the classroom
I started to put some of the material on one of the pages so I could
See if it would look good.
37. process
For next time I could improve on the layout of the book,
Because the back page ended coming out upside down.
So when the book is finished and you close the page it’s
Upside down and the other pages are the right way up.
38. process
When it was finally tome to stick I decided to do a
Little stick test on all of the fabrics to see if they all stick with
Hot glue. Which they all did so that meant I didn’t have to try
Different glue that probably wouldn’t of worked and taken a
Long time to dry.
39. process
First I did the penguin because I knew that it would of
Been the easiest to do, I cut out the penguins body from
a page that didn’t work so and I used that as a stencil to
Cut out the fabric the same size as the body of the penguin.
40. process
The monkeys tail took a while to get right because I
Couldn’t get it the same size as the or the right way as
The monkey tail on the page, so I had a little bit of help
From my teacher to sketch it the same size and to cut
it because I couldn’t cut it straight. The pen I used to draw
The monkey tail leaked through the fabric I had to change
To a biro instead, because it was less messy.
41. process
For the grass I started off with drawing a stencil on the back until
I got it right, this helped me cut it out perfectly. Instead of sticking the
Grass on top of the drawing of the grass I stuck it on top of the cow so
That it looked like the cow was sat in the grass.
42. process
This process was very messy because with being a left hander I
Smudge the pen every time I draw so it ends up all over my
Hands.
43. process
Finally I finished, I added some
fluffy balls onto the clouds so
they looked like the clouds in
the sky. And also because it
means that the reader will get
a little taster about what's
inside. The ring binder pulls
the book together and
it makes my book look like a
book and function like a book.
