Colour project

Creating my OFFICIAL book Daisy Jackson / 20/04/2023 Today I created the official book. I did this landscape and I am very happy with the turnout. As this is a concept I decided to stick with paper, sticking both sides on the back of each other in the correct order. I then stapled the left side together and added a felt piece over the sides to act as a stimulating spine. However I did make the error again of stapling the wrong side... Another problem I came across which was out of my control is during the printing process, it must have cropped some of the image off which caused some pages to actually not have Moe inside - literally making Moe IMPOSSIBLE to find! I am not too fussed about this as it is a concept and I am just happy I have all the pages printed out and done. Obviously if I was to officially publish this, I would alter this. But I do have all the illustrations as a seperate component too for when marking occurs. I guess it is all about trial and error! Here is my official...

Altering the layout Daisy Jackson / 20/04/2023 Upon feedback, it was concluded that having a physical version would be best for the project. Because creating a book can be weirdly complex, I decided to make everything A4 and landscape. This provides a large enough scale for the reader to see Moe and find everything. However, this meant that I needed to alter the front and back cover as they were set to portrait. Unfortunately I already combined all the layers of this design which made editing them to landscape quite difficult. I decided to use the original leaf layer for the background and crop the original front and back cover over the top. I then altered the saturation amongst other effects. I then added the leaf brush over the top. I was really happy with the turnout of this. It honestly looked better in my opinion!

Creating the book for 'Finding Moe' Daisy Jackson / 17/04/2023 Recently I decided to try and create my book physically. Because this would be a rough idea presentation wise, I wanted to stick to paper. However, upon trying this, I ran into many problems. Somehow I forgot the way a book works. I forgot about having the middle page etc so when I stuck the pages on the back of each other, the order was entirely wrong. This was very frustrating and I spent quite a lot of money on producing two copies of each page (in case). In the process I used both of these pages.  I also forgot to flip the front cover as it is the wrong way. This also caused me to run into a problem.  Here is what I was left with: After this, I decided to create concept ideas of what the book would look like when produced professionally. I did this through Procreate and overlayed the pages on top of an already designed plain white book. I then altred the layers to multiply so it looked more realistic.  The...
