Childrens Book: Week Eleven – Creating Elements
This week I really focused on creating the vectored illustrations for my book before I began designing the lay out and writing the pages.
I chose a brighter colour scheme to appeal to younger children and to have simple design throughout so the conveyance was clear.
Childrens Book: Week Ten – Change of focus
After experimenting with more painted faces and getting further into my idea for the “Stop being the print” I found myself struggling to find things relate able or approachable for children or for adults to read to children.
I decided to move onto a topic that is widely misunderstood Nihilism. Nihilism is surrounded by a conception of it being negative when it is in fact positive and a happy thing.
I want to approach the topic as in these words will be read to the children by their parents/carers in a soft calm voice and the messages will sink in as something positive.
Basically Nihilism for children.
Private: Childrens Book: Week Nine – Idea moving forward
Moving further into this style and idea, I had to decide upon what to have for text within the book. I didn’t feel like moving towards a story so have aimed more towards short poems or short sentences.
Childrens Book: Week Eight – Idea moving forward
After several ideas not inspiring me to carry forward I finally settled on moving forward with my current plan.
My book is focusing on inspiring originality within its audience and focusing more on people being different and being talented in different fields but it all being okay. Focus on the idea that if you’re good at maths or good at art both are valid and neither is more important.
Due to restrictions of available materials I used some borrowed nail polish and painted over a basic outline of a face like shape.
Then I went onto illustrator and began fixing and cleaning up the image to use on front cover. Then created a rough draft of the front cover.
I’ve chosen to go for full A4 landscape format pages for the book and that this is the first draft. The font I’ve chosen something approachable an recognizable for children. Simple and friendly.
The title is reference to more pushing towards inspiring originality rather than copying/following what is considered normal or regular.
