3. Evaluation
What did you like about your images?
I like the cartoonish style of them both as I think it
makes them both look cute even though there were
a few different tools and techniques used, it looks
as if they were made using a minimal amount of
skill.
What would you improve if you did them again?
I would add more detail to them to make them look
more realistic. To do this I would add maybe some
brick detail to the house, and some fur detail to the
panda.

4. Rotoscope

5. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the comic book effect this tool gives an
image, and how realistic they look whilst still
have the cartoonish effect.
What would you improve if you did it again?
Next time I would probably attempt to add more
make up to her to give a slightly more realistic
effect.

6. Text Based

7. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like how the effect on the images goes with the
quote well, and how the perspective matches
the way the gun goes.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would maybe try putting different effects with
the image to see which other effects would go
well with the quote and which ones wouldn’t.

8. Comic Book

9. Evaluation
What did you like about your images?
I like the difference the effects make to the
original picture. I also like how cartoonish it
makes them look.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would maybe try to develop them a little motr
and try out different effects.

10. Photography

11. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the simplicity of being able to tell a story
only using images and without the use of words.
I also like how the different effects can change
the aspect of the story.
What would you improve if you did it again?
I would try doing different effects and maybe
change a few photo’s to see how it would
change the story.

12. Illustration

13. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I like the simple style and the small details that the
image has and the effect it gives. I also like how the
words are not all on one line but are on quite a few
as I think it makes it easier to read for children
which is the target audience for most fairy tales.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I were to re-do this I would probably add a
background to make the image more detailed and
fix the birds feet as I do not like them.

Story Overview
The story begins when a little girl, who everyone calls Little Red Riding Hood gets told by her
mother to deliver a basket of goods to her sick grandmother who lives in the middle of the woods.
On her way to Granny’s house Little Riding Hood comes across a patch of flowers and stops to
take a sniff. Suddenly, a wolf shows up and asks her where she is going. Once he finds out he
convinces her to gather some flowers for her Grandmother to surprise her. He uses this time to
quickly run to Grandmothers house and locks her in the wardrobe. When Little Red Riding Hood
arrives she notices her Grandmother does not look like herself, she soon realizes that it’s the wolf
in her Grandmothers nightgown. Just before the wolf has a chance to eat Little Red Riding Hood, a
woodsman hears her scream, and breaks into the house, killing the wolf and saving Little Red
Riding Hood and her Grandmother from a grizzly end.
Export Format
JPEG
Advantages: They are easy to transport and have a smaller file size than a PSD.
Disadvantages: If by chance the image becomes resized, it is at risk of becoming
pixelated, and it will be compressed.

18. Deadline
20th November
Audience
The book will mostly be aimed at children between the ages of 4-8 and will appeal
to both genders as the girls will like Little Red Riding Hood and the boys will favour
the Wolf and the Woodsman. The book will also be aimed towards English speaking
countries, mainly focussing on UK to people in the social class of ABC1 as they will
see the book as a luxury expense which won’t break the bank. The book will also
appeal to the parent’s who children like reading bedtime stories as the story is a
classic which they will remember from their childhood as they read it to their
children.
Production Methods
To create the pages in the book I will photoshop. For the background of each page I
will use a filter over some pictures to create a cartoonish effect. To add more detail
if needed, I would put another layer with a threshold to the background. For the
characters I will use a mixture of Rota-scoping and shape manipulation over images
I have illustrated or taken. This will give them a cartoonish effect which will tie in
well with the background images. I will do the characters separately and save them
as a JPEG to add to the PSD to ensure there are not an excessive amount of layers to
avoid confusion and to lessen the file size when It will be saved as a JPEG.

19. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
Well explained story, easy to follow and people are
already familiar with this story so I can presume
there will be a greater audience than a lesser
known story.
Clear idea of what they will do during the task and
how they will do it.
More fleshed out audience would be a good
improvement to make, such as the social class
they're in.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
Good and detailed idea generation, obviously
aware of what they are going to do. Clear
understanding of different Photoshop techniques
etc.
Perhaps start to annotate the mood board so that
we can further understand the elements that are on
there and why they are on there (what purpose they
serve.)

20. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
The story is well explained and I could follow it
clearly. The page dimensions and file format for
your story are suitable and explained well. The
target audience is also clear to understand.
To improve you could talk about how you have tried
to aim your book towards your target audience.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
Used a wide range of angles to look at and it is
clear that you have a general idea of what you are
doing.
Maybe separate the different areas of the mood
board so it is clearer with say annotation or wider
gaps.

21. What are the strengths of the proposal? What areas of the proposal need further work?
Story seems interesting and something that people
will be keen to read, probably interested to see
what differences there are compared to other
iterations.
More reasoning to why they are opting to use the
JPEG format could be included.
What are the strengths of the idea generation? What areas of idea generation could have been
further developed?
Fonts picked that make sense and look interesting
especially to a younger audience.
The way they are planning on making the little red
riding hood story seem unique and the art style
seems like something that would appeal to the
audience.
Interesting images picked for the mood board
however I would say that some annotations on
there may be a good idea to show why they have
chosen those images.

22. Feedback Summary
Sum up your feedback.
I got mostly positive feedback which I am pleased with that say I have a clear
understanding of what I am doing and I have a simple, easy to understand story.
Which parts of your feedback do you agree with and why?
I agree with the fact that I know what I am doing for the book because I have an idea
clear in my head for what I want to achieve and have tried to show this in my planning. I
think I have managed to do this due to the feedback I have received.
Which parts of your feedback do you disagree with and why?
I do not really agree with the having to improve on talking about my target audience as I
feel I have made it clear who my target audience is.

23. Original Script
One day, Little Red Riding Hood’s mother said to her, “Take this basket of goodies to
your grandma’s cottage, but don’t talk to strangers on the way!” Promising not to, Little
Red Riding Hood skipped off. On her way she met the Big Bad Wolf who asked, “Where
are you going, little girl?” “To my grandma’s, Mr. Wolf!” she answered.
The Big Bad Wolf then ran to her grandmother’s cottage much before Little Red Riding
Hood, and knocked on the door. When Grandma opened the door, he locked her up in
the cupboard. The wicked wolf then wore Grandma’s clothes and lay on her bed,
waiting for Little Red Riding Hood.
When Little Red Riding Hood reached the cottage, she entered and went to Grandma’s
bedside. “My! What big eyes you have, Grandma!” she said in surprise. “All the better to
see you with, my dear!” replied the wolf. “My! What big ears you have, Grandma!” said
Little Red Riding Hood. “All the better to hear you with, my dear!” said the wolf. “What
big teeth you have, Grandma!” said Little Red Riding Hood. “All the better to eat you
with!” growled the wolf pouncing on her. Little Red Riding Hood screamed and the
woodcutters in the forest came running to the cottage. They beat the Big Bad Wolf and
rescued Grandma from the cupboard. Grandma hugged Little Red Riding Hood with joy.
The Big Bad Wolf ran away never to be seen again. Little Red Riding Hood had learnt her
lesson and never spoke to strangers ever again.
