Me, My Book & I’ Final Statement & self Evaluation
· Title of your project:
children's little picture/small story/educating concertina book, theres not much of a title but an introduction on my front cover.
· How does this project continue the theme ‘Me, myself & I’?-
Yes I feel I have a strong on going theme from the very beginning, from my first idea of a more collaged and textiles children's educating book 'visual treasures' I simply just developed the concept further. Making a visual change however still keeping a very alike concept, of a visually stimulating book, with a slight education purpose however a story for the child to follow.
· Describe your outcome – in terms of materials, methods, themes, content.
My vital aim in terms of the theme of my book was to in capture the child's imagination however also give it an educating twist by adding the 'did you know?' quotations. I want the child to become familiar with my characters and to be keen on opening this little book again and again to not just read, but be visually pleased by the little hand-drawn and digitally developed images of my characters and their favourites lands in their magical river. I decided to create a concertina book, as I believe a child would very much like the process of pulling out the book to reveal the illustrations and story. It simply adds more interest. In terms of materials i have used, the hard back covers, gloss paper for the illustrations, very vibrant green card and ribbon is to achieve a clean crisp look and to endeavour an eye catching appearance.
What range of creative communication techniques have been explored?-
Throughout my whole research and my finished book I have focussed on creating a narrative to engage and communicate to a young child's interest visually and for the small narrative to explore the child's imagination when red to them by the adult. Or possibly read by an older child to stimulate their own imagination. Not only this but for the small educating quotations of 'did you know?' to communicate to the child, a small aspect of education there for them to pick up on and hopefully remember. The book itself is educating and communicating to the child that in reality these are the animals that live in this environment, however the imaginative side of the story makes it a good little read for a young child.
How have you visually communicated your ideas through your outcome?-
Visually I have tried to create friendly child-like characters and illustrative backgrounds to each character to communicate and develop the story line within them to encourage the child's imagination and interest.
*the images are of my book displayed & my final page designs, minus the turtle one I didnt end up using. These I printed upon gloss paper to put mounted in the book.
