Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
The thing that I like best about the shape images is their cartoon style.
I think this technique works for creating a cartoon animal, this is
because the features are more noticeable and exaggerated. Overall I
like my images created using the shape technique, I like how simply
building up shapes created clear image of an animal.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I was to do improve anything, next time I used this technique I would
try to create an animal with more colours and pattern. Adding more
colours and patterns, I feel would create a more interesting final
image.

Evaluation
The thing I like best about these images is the finished look and how
adding extra detail created a really good image. I also like how in my
later images how it used different tones of colour and shade, which
created a better overall finish. Overall I really like the images I have
created using the rotoscope technique and feel that this is a technique
I am very comfortable using.
Although I really like my finished images, I feel that I could still add
detail to them. Next time I used this technique I would try and also
create a background to make the image look more complete.

Evaluation
The things that I really like about this image are the bright colours and
interesting shapes which have come together and formed an image.
Another thing I like about this image is the overall finish, I like the
details, like the logs and windows. Overall I really like this image and
defiantly see how I could use this when creating a setting for a story.
There is a couple of aspects of the image that I think could be
improved, and that this the grass and sky. The grass could have more
detail like shading and colours, as well as flowers and other things to
make the areas look better. The sky colour is not quite right and I feel
that some clouds would make the setting appear more complete.

Evaluation
I really like most of the styles of texts I have created, and feel that they
could all be used and altered to suit different uses. I think that the best
text style that I have created is the final one with the image of the
skyline creating the letters. This one is the most clear and could be
useful for a front cover.
If I was to create other text types, next time I would focus on making
sure that the styles are readable. This is because with some of the
styles I have created they are slightly unclear. So making sure that the
text is clear and interesting is defiantly something I will focus on next
time.

Evaluation
I like the style and overall look of the comic book images. I like the fact
the the images can look very realistic or quite abstract. In my images I
like the shadow detail, especially in my final image, which looks more
realistic that the others because of the high detail in the threshold
step. Overall I really like the images I have created in this style and
enjoyed changing the colours and appearance of the images.
If I was to use this style again, I would look more into the use of the
text boxes as in some of my images I don’t feel like they truly fit the
image and they don’t appear to have been added carefully, and
therefore stand out.

Evaluation
I really like the image that I have created and feel that it combines the
comic book a style to use it as a story. I like the fact that this process is
quicker and an easier way of achieving a story than creating every
aspect. Overall I really like the image that I have created and I feel that
it could be used as a way to create a story.
If I was to do this again I would possibly try and have a more
interesting story as well as use more images of the page. I feel that if
the story could have been better and if I had the chance I would add
more detail and location. Also I think if I was to use more images the
final image would be fuller and have many more interesting aspects.

Evaluation
What did you like about your images?
I like the small animal images I have drawn and parts of the logos and
symbols. However I don’t feel that my person and some other aspects
are quite as good. My best image is of the lion which I feel has good
detail, but looks quite cartoon like in style. I feel this image as well as
some of the other animals would work well in a child's story.
If I was to do this again I would take longer to draw my images, and
add more detail including colour. If I was to take longer and develop
my images I feel that they would, overall come out with a better
standard. If I added colour to some of my images I think this would
elevate them to having a much more interesting appearance.

Evaluation
I like the overall finish of this image and how it clearly shows the
western landscape. I really like the colours in this image and there
brightness adds a lot of aesthetic value to the image. Overall I think
this image works well in the style I have tried to create it in, and looks
good as a cartoon.
There are however a few things that I know could be improved if I was
to create this image again. First of all I would be more careful with
detail especially in the grass areas, which I feel could have tone
variation to make the area look better. One last thing that could be
improved is the text, now I feel that it is too small and for some may
be hard to read.

Forest / Rumpelstiltskin’s camp

Rumpelstiltskin
Rupelstiltskin is the title character in the story.
In my version I want him to appear elf like. He
needs to appear kind so it is believable that he
would be trusted. But he also needs to be evil
and have some scare factor to him therefore he
might have one then more version especially in
his final scene, where he becomes angry.

Elizabeth
Elizabeth is the main character in the story she
is featured in most of the book. I would like the
character to look like the images below. For the
story there will be two version of this character,
there needs to be a pauper version for the
beginning of the story and a princess like
version at the end, once she has married the
prince.

Prince
The Prince- In the original story there is not a prince and instead the woman marries
the King. Because in my version the king is shown to be a nasty greedy man I thought it
would be better for the woman to marry a prince. The prince in my story will feature
heavily at the end and he has to look like a strong character. In my version the prince
is going to find out Rupelstiltskins name, so he is an important character.

Miller
Miller: Elizabeth's
father, this character
is only on one page so
is not to important. I
would like him to be
old and quite fat. He
also needs to appear
as a pauper.
The King is one of the
villains of the story.
His greed leads him to
lock up Elizabeth and
force her to turn straw
to gold (Which she
cannot do. The king
needs to be old and
rich, so his
appearance should be
something like one of
these images.

Baby
The baby in the
story is one of the
most important
aspects. However
because this
character actually
doesn’t do
anything, I have
chosen to have a
baby in a blanket.

Story Overview
Beginning- In the castle a young millers daughter “Elizabeth” and the prince, play in the castle. After a few years the miller and his daughter are
visiting the castle again, when the miller lies to the king and tells him that Elizabeth can spin straw into gold. The greedy king had Elizabeth placed in a
dungeon.
Middle- Elizabeth starts to cry, when she hears a voice and looks up to see a strange man stood in the dungeon. The man tells her that he can spin
straw into gold and asks for something in return. Elizabeth hands over her mother’s necklace. Then the man sits at the spinning wheel and through
the night turns the straw into gold. In the morning the king arrives to see all the gold and in his greed has the room refilled, with even more straw.
The king then speaks to Elizabeth and says that if she spins all of this straw into gold she may marry his son the prince. Again when the king has left
she begins to cry, then the man appears and asks for payment before he makes the straw gold. Elizabeth has nothing and continues to cry, then the
man tells her that if she promises him her first born child he will turn the straw to gold. Elizabeth doubts the man would actually want a child and so
agrees to the promise. Over night the man again turns the straw into gold.
Ending- Because all of the straw had been spun into gold the king agreed that she could marry the prince. After there wedding Elizabeth and the
prince had a child, a baby boy. One day the man returned and demanded that Elizabeth hand over her baby, Elizabeth begged the man for some way
to undo there promise. The man told Elizabeth that if she found out what his name was within a week, he would not take her child. Over the next
week all of the kingdom searched for the strange little man, on the final night the prince stumbled upon a camp where he watched the man dance
around the fire and overheard the man sing his name. The next day the man came to the castle and asked Elizabeth to guess his name. Elizabeth
joked guessing strange names, and after the man got mad he demanded that she have one final guess. Elizabeth spoke his name Rumpelstiltskin, and
the man disappeared. Then the kingdom celebrated and nobody heard from Rumpelsiltskin again, the end.

Deadline
15th of January 2016- Deadline for pages of book
Audience
The audience I am aiming for is 4-8 year old boys and girls. I think that 4-8 is the
right age for this story because there is some minor risk in the story and the
character Rumpelstiltskin could be seem as quite a scary figure. I feel that both boys
and girls can appreciate this story as there is and adventure type risk as well as
magical elements. I also believe that any child with an interest in adventure or fairy
tale story's will like this book. Overall I think that any child of the 4-8 in and English
speaking place could read the story I am creating.
Production Methods
The production method I am going to use as the main way of creating my story is
Rotoscoping. I choose to use this method because I feel that the past images I have
created with this have worked very well. I also think that Rotoscoping will give the
cartoon and realistic style I am trying to use. I may also use some other methods
such as shape, when I am creating backgrounds. Overall these will be the two main
techniques that I will utilise when creating my children's book, I think that this
combination will work well and give good illustrations that children will find
interesting and complimentary to the story.

What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
The proposal is very strong. Your story is very well
put together and I agree with your age range. The
files size you have picked I think is suitable also.
Am not sure, you have done very well.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
The idea generation is very good there are lots of
great ideas and you have gone into a lot of detail.
Its clear and easy to read and I like how you have
laid it out.
Think you have done enough well done.

You have though through your book in detail, its
good that you have the page size and how many
pages you want. I like your production method you
will get good quality images by doing it that way. It’s
good that you have though out your story and you
know where your going with it.
What is your font and text size. Rotoscoping may
take some time.
further developed?
You have though out what you have wanted to do
very well, you have given me a clear image of what
you wanted to do for your book and what the
characters looked like.
What made you want to do rumplestiltskin and what
was your inspiration.
Sorry there’s not that much, your computer froze

I think the proposal is incredibly well thought out
and detailed. I like how you have a clear idea of
exactly what you want to do and I think the detail
you have used will help you create a really good
book.
I think its written really well and personally I don’t
think you need any further work on it.
further developed?
You have gone into immense detail which I can
imagine has helped you create a strong idea of
what you’d like to achieve with your end product. I
like how you haven’t used vague mind maps and
instead you’ve elaborated really well and come up
with some really good ideas.
I think you have researched really well and have
enough ideas to create your book and therefore I
don’t really think you need any further
improvements to your idea generation.

Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
Overall my feedback was very positive, everyone has said that I have gone into a lot of
detail about how I would like my story to appear and be made. Some things do need to
have something's added to them, but they are minor details which I have not decided
upon yet such as font style and size.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
One person in my feedback has shown there concern about the production time of my
chosen technique rotoscoping, I see where this comment has come from as when taking
time to add immense detail the process can take a long time. To avoid running out of
time I will plan out my time, into making the contents and putting the pages together.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
There are no parts of the feedback that I strongly disagree with.

Original Script
-http://www.worldoftales.com/Rumpelstiltskin.html
There was once a miller who was poor, but he had one beautiful daughter. It happened one day that he came to
speak with the king, and, to give himself consequence, he told him that he had a daughter who could spin gold
out of straw. The king said to the miller, "That is an art that pleases me well; if thy daughter is as clever as you
say, bring her to my castle to-morrow, that I may put her to the proof."
When the girl was brought to him, he led her into a room that was quite full of straw, and gave her a wheel and
spindle, and said,
"Now set to work, and if by the early morning thou hast not spun this straw to gold thou shalt die." And he shut
the door himself, and left her there alone.
And so the poor miller's daughter was left there sitting, and could not think what to do for her life; she had no
notion how to set to work to spin gold from straw, and her distress grew so great that she began to weep. Then
all at once the door opened, and in came a little man, who said,
"Good evening, miller's daughter; why are you crying?"
"Oh!" answered the girl, "I have got to spin gold out of straw, and I don't understand the business."
Then the little man said,
"What will you give me if I spin it for you?"
"My necklace," said the girl.
The little man took the necklace, seated himself before the wheel, and whirr, whirr, whirr! three times round and
the bobbin was full; then he took up another, and whirr, whirr, whirr! three times round, and that was full; and so
he went on till the morning, when all the straw had been spun, and all the bobbins were full of gold. At sunrise
came the king, and when he saw the gold he was astonished and very much rejoiced, for he was very avaricious.
He had the miller's daughter taken into another room filled with straw, much bigger than the last, and told her
that as she valued her life she must spin it all in one night. The girl did not know what to do, so she began to cry,
and then the door opened, and the little man appeared and said,

Original Script
"What will you give me if I spin all this straw into gold?"
"The ring from my finger," answered the girl.
So the little man took the ring, and began again to send the wheel whirring round, and by the next morning all
the straw was spun into glistening gold. The king was rejoiced beyond measure at the sight, but as he could never
have enough of gold, he had the miller's daughter taken into a still larger room full of straw, and said,
"This, too, must be spun in one night, and if you accomplish it you shall be my wife." For he thought, "Although
she is but a miller's daughter, I am not likely to find any one richer in the whole world."
As soon as the girl was left alone, the little man appeared for the third time and said,
"What will you give me if I spin the straw for you this time?"
"I have nothing left to give," answered the girl.
"Then you must promise me the first child you have after you are queen," said the little man.
"But who knows whether that will happen?" thought the girl; but as she did not know what else to do in her
necessity, she promised the little man what he desired, upon which he began to spin, until all the straw was gold.
And when in the morning the king came and found all done according to his wish, he caused the wedding to be
held at once, and the miller's pretty daughter became a queen.
In a year's time she brought a fine child into the world, and thought no more of the little man; but one day he
came suddenly into her room, and said,
"Now give me what you promised me."
The queen was terrified greatly, and offered the little man all the riches of the kingdom if he would only leave the
child; but the little man said,
"No, I would rather have something living than all the treasures of the world."
Then the queen began to lament and to weep, so that the little man had pity upon her.
"I will give you three days," said he, "and if at the end of that time you cannot tell my name, you must give up the
child to me”

Original Script
Then the queen spent the whole night in thinking over all the names that she had ever heard, and sent a messenger
through the land to ask far and wide for all the names that could be found. And when the little man came next day,
(beginning with Caspar, Melchior, Balthazar) she repeated all she knew, and went through the whole list, but after each
the little man said,
"That is not my name."
The second day the queen sent to inquire of all the neighbours what the servants were called, and told the little man all
the most unusual and singular names, saying, "Perhaps you are called Roast-ribs, or Sheepshanks, or Spindleshanks?" But
he answered nothing but
"That is not my name."
The third day the messenger came back again, and said,
"I have not been able to find one single new name; but as I passed through the woods I came to a high hill, and near it
was a little house, and before the house burned a fire, and round the fire danced a comical little man, and he hopped on
one leg and cried,
"To-day do I bake, to-morrow I brew,
The day after that the queen's child comes in;
And oh! I am glad that nobody knew
That the name I am called is Rumpelstiltskin!"
You cannot think how pleased the queen was to hear that name, and soon afterwards, when the little man walked in and
said, "Now, Mrs. Queen, what is my name?" she said at first,
"Are you called Jack?"
"No," answered he.
"Are you called Harry?" she asked again.
"No," answered he. And then she said,
"Then perhaps your name is Rumpelstiltskin!"
"The devil told you that! the devil told you that!" cried the little man, and in his anger he stamped with his right foot so
hard that it went into the ground above his knee; then he seized his left foot with both his hands in such a fury that he
split in two, and there was an end of him.

Once upon a time in a far away land, lived a greedy king. The King took everything he wanted, if it belonged to
him or not. The King had a son who was best friends with the Miller’s daughter Elizabeth, the children always
played together throughout the whole kingdom.
After some years the two were now grown up. The Miller was so proud of his daughter and often boasted about
her to all the kingdoms people. One day the Miller was dining with the King, when the King began to tell story's
of how the prince had battled a dragons. The jealous Miller told the greedy King that his daughter Elizabeth
could spin straw into gold.
The greedy King ordered his knights to arrest Elizabeth and lock her in a room full of straw. The King told her that
she must turn all of the straw into gold. Elizabeth pleaded with the King that she couldn’t spin straw into gold,
but the King wouldn’t listen. Once he left, Elizabeth sat alone and cried
Knowing she couldn’t spin straw into gold, Elizabeth wished someone would help her. When she turned round, a
strange small man stood in the dungeon. The man told Elizabeth that he would spin the straw into gold for her
but he wanted something in return. Elizabeth handed over her mother’s necklace, and the strange man began
his work.
In the morning Elizabeth woke up to see the room full of gold instead of straw. When the King entered he was so
exited to see all of his gold, in his greed he filled the room with even more straw. The King then promised
Elizabeth that if she spun all of the straw into gold she could marry the Prince.
Again Elizabeth began to cry and again the strange man appeared and offered his help. But Elizabeth had nothing
to offer him in return, so the strange little man asked for her first born child. Elizabeth thought that the man
wouldn’t want to take care of a baby, so she agreed. The the man sat at the spinning wheel and again began to
work.
