Friday, 7/15/11 Activity: Create outline for Comments / Suggestions:
9:30 AM – 11:45 AM health concepts in coloring
book.
Commentary: I found it
more difficult than
expected to compose a list
of individual subjects to
use in the coloring book.
Thankfully, I had access to
the projects/ intern director
at Hands & Feet and she
suggested some helpful
components to use in the
book.
Total time: 2 hr. 15 mins.

12:00 PM – 1:00 PM outline for the coloring
book.
Commentary: Narrowing
down the concepts for the

costs for printing the book.
The page count went down
from thirty-five to around
twenty-five.
Total time: 1 hr.
6. Saturday, 8/27/11 Activity: Drawing five Comments / Suggestions:
12:00 PM – 1: 25 PM storyboard pictures for
book.
Commentary: Actually
thinking out the concepts
and applying them to a
page is probably smarter.
This way, later when all
the planning for the
pictures’ orientation is
done, I can just directly
apply these pictures to 8
½” x 11” pages.
Total time: 1 hr. 25 mins.

actual drawing will not
take as long.
Total time: 2 hrs.
10. Thursday, 9/22/11 Activity: Drawing page 1 Comments / Suggestions:
3:00 PM – 5:45 PM of coloring book

the page onto a separate
sheet of blank paper.
Total time: 1 hr. 45 mins.

11:30AM -- 4:45AM Drawing pictures 4-9 for
coloring book
Commentary: I am slowly
discovering how to
position the drawing on the

16. Friday, 11/25/11 Activity: Scanning all 26 Comments / Suggestions:
3:00 PM – 5:00 PM drawings in high-detail
onto computer.
Commentary: Because of
the quality and detail of the
drawings, the process of
transferring drawings was
slow. While I was at it, I
also organized the
drawings into its own
special folder and arranged
other parts of my project
around it.
Total time: 2 hrs.
17. Saturday, 12/17/11 Activity: Correcting simple Comments / Suggestions:

on drawings 1-4.
Commentary:
Total time: 4 hrs.
19. Tuesday, 12/ 27/11 Activity: Going through Comments / Suggestions:
4:30 PM – 10:30 PM drawing 1 and 2;
redrawing lines thicker,
establishing fluidity,
positioning and scaling on
page, and deleting
unneeded elements.
Commentary: In order for
the drawings to look
professional, a bolder line
is required for the entire
piece. I made due on
drawing one, since it is so
immense, on areas that
lacked visible lines, so the
overall picture is large
enough for kids to color.
Sadly, my computer
decided to delete all my
corrections on drawing 2,
so I had to find the original
draft on my computer and
rebuild from the bottom
up.
Total time: 6 hrs.
20. Sunday, 1/1/12 Activity: Creating coloring Comments / Suggestions:
3:15 PM – 3:30 PM book schedule for January
2012.
Commentary: I am finding
that time is slipping away
and I am quickly becoming
stressed out, so I found it
useful to make myself a
calendar and pace myself. I
am pretty sure I will even
go above and beyond and
finish way ahead of
schedule!
Total time: 15 mins.
21. Monday, 1/2/12 Activity: Retracing thick Comments / Suggestions:
4:15 PM – 9:15 PM lines over drawings 1-4.
Commentary: My latest
discovery is creating a
layer over the sketch and
tracing the sketch in thick
pen, then erasing the
original, all on my pen pad.
This method is a lot faster
than fixing small mistakes,
and fixes the problem of
the pages looking
like…well, like they don’t
belong in a coloring book!
Total time: 5 hrs.

Peacock.
Commentary: I found that
I did not need Mr. Peacock
much on this project, until
I just needed to check of
the concepts made sense
for a healthcare theme in
the coloring book. I also
used him as a final
personal check to see if the
average person could
understand how the words
and the pictures connect
