Creating a mindmap on the colour green and producing ideas

Daisy Jackson / 20/02/2023

Today I decided to further look into the colour green. I looked into the history of this colour as well as looking into interesting facts about it. This then allowed me to come up with interesting ideas on what format I will produce my final outcome.

I loved the facts I found as I thought they were very interesting and informative. Doing this task has really helped with my idea generation.

My initial ideas include creating an educational book for children about the colour green. Either this is a picture book which uses story telling, or creating another mix and match book which I did in a previous project which went extremely well. 

Here are my ideas:

Due to my style being quite odd and monster orientated, I thought this would be a great opportunity to experiment with this and have creative freedom. I want to explore the stories behind the colour green. Either this involves educating the child on nature and the different types of plants that are green, the tragic truth behind the pigment green or even just educating the target audience on the different shades of green.

I think these are all strong ideas which I can explore after further research.

My next steps?

For my next steps I will begin to research into different books that explore colours in general and the colour green. This will then help further inspire my work and give me ideas to work from. I really want to educate the child and make them interested in the book and what they are learning. I am still undecided on the age range but this is because I have not chosen a solid idea yet though.
