My official designs for my book - the completed prototype

My official designs for my book - the completed prototype

Daisy Jackson / 11/03/2022

Today I created a small prototype which allowed me to understand the order and if the work I have produced is effective and interesting on a shelf. More importantly, I can also tell if a child would like this as the colours and imagery used will distinguish whether my target market group will like my product. 

In this prototype the pages are definitely not the correct size as when cutting them out, they did not allign very well. HOWEVER, this does not matter! I only care about seeing whether my design worked and the pages were consistent and not boring. 

I have not included the spine in this prototype as I was using treasury tags to put them together. This of course would make it very hard to put together with a spine. Also the prototype is quite small so this would be tedious and a waste of my time. The deadline is coming closer and closer but I definitely believe that I will have finished this book by next week (hopefully anyway).

Here are images in order of what my book will look like:




















Here is a video of my mini prototype:

One day projects - week 2 - 'Happy Birthday' Daisy Jackson / 31/01/2022 For today's one day task, David assigned us the mini project of creating a 4 panel story involving the song 'Happy Birthday'. In comparison to last week, my creative thinking has definitely improved as more ideas rushed to my head during the brief. Here are my plans: Despite how morbid a lot of these ideas are, I find them quite comical as the characters themselves are very strange. I have always loved my lumpy style and wanted to encoorperate it into a few ideas. A lot of these ideas involved characters being crushed and the other character being left horrified. That is when I came up with my official idea of fruit in a blender. Unfortunately, these two pieces of fruit had no idea what was going to happen. I decided to create the final piece digitally as I felt I could have a lot of fun with this and test out my skills. Often, I usually draw in simple colours. However, with this piece I wanted ...

Marbling Daisy Jackson / 14/03/2022 Today we were placed into groups and did a marbling session with Molly. I really enjoyed this session as I have often seen marbling kits and been quite curious about them. I never knew how to marble and am very happy I learned how! These are the results from today:

Creating my storyboard

Creating my storyboard  Daisy Jackson / 18/03/022 Today I decided to brainstorm ideas for a storyboard. This storyboard would be contributing to my introduction to animation module so I had to make sure I understood the concept and the idea I was going for. Originally, my idea was going to be a more scenic animation - focusing on the surroundings and then narrating the death of Marie Curie’s husband Pierre. However, I decided to have a different approach to this idea. The idea below is my original storyboard:                                                              I decided not to go with this idea as it was too bland for me. Yes, the angles were interesting and narrated the story in a dramatic and cinematic way but it was lacking some kind of substance.  During yesterday’s animation session (17/03/2022), Matt wanted us...
