Assignment 7: Children's Storybook
Finally the last assignment for this module.
Basically we are supposed to form a group of 4-5 people and get a children's storybook for those aged between 6-9 years old.
It was really strenuous work as not only do we have to draw out the story in pencil, we would have to process it through Photoshop as well
(tracing and the colouring, tracing using Illustrator doesn't help much maybe because the pencil I drew in was rather light, it didn't manage to capture all the lines.), plus we still have to consider the time needed to print out the book and the type of paper we wanted for the book.
After one botched printing and many changes to the original supposed final product, we finally have the final storybook up. Click on the pictures for a slightly bigger and more readable view:













The main things that were changed from the prototype was that there are now more colours to the whole book as opposed to just the dull green or black background in general due to the boy being lost and searching the boomerang in the parks etc at night. It generally should catch children's attention due to the colours of that age group and hopefully draw interest from them.
The font was also changed, basically inspired from translated Japanese manga where they always use that kind of font to type. One of the reasons why I like it is because of its ease of readability, and they are rather cartoonish without being too much or tacky which is just nice for our target group.
Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed the book!
Cheers!
