WELCOME BACK IN SPRING TERM

-

Welcome back in the New Year and  the NEW TERM! Fresh start and the new beginning would gave me opportunity to learn something new and interesting. This term I am going to be more creative, confident about myself and my work .

Last term in my major project I drew an illustrations to the story written by my friend's daughter "The magic of the amulet" That was my biggest dream and the feedback from my friends and family was amazing and positive. My biggest inspiration is polish illustrator Daniel Wlodarski. I was very proud and excited  about my very first book and I decided to write a short message to him on Instagram. He  was very happy about that and gave me some useful tips for the future, saying that "In this job the most important is enthusiasm for work, persistence, to be open to criticism, flow, self-motivation and everything contrasts with your own limitations (such as style) experience and mood" I appreciate his words and I will remember them forever.

During the well deserved break I have watched a movie called "Don't look up" which was amazing and I would recommend that to everyone to watch.  This movie shows how people reacts on  tragical information those days and how sad it is. " What happened to us?!" asked Dr. Randal Mindy (Leonardo Di Caprio) The film central message is about the social spread of non-facts a problem that applies equally to the pandemic. "Don't look up" is one of that movies will be remembered years after has been viewed.

Eco Academy Tote Bag mock up

 Finally I was bereave  enough to experiment with the Photoshop to create the tote bag for the school. I  started with the mock up picture which I found on the free mock up website, and I downloaded it on the laptop.  After transferring the picture to the Photoshop I used a clone tool to remove the design which was already there, however a few minutes after I have finished designing the bag I learned how to do it in completely different way. I knew I am doing something wrong as it took me to long .    I used the same free background logo which I created earlier in Procreate . I fit it to the tote bag size and I saved the picture in jpg, choosing "file" and " save as"  on the left top corner . I am happy with the results, the picture is sharp in a good quality.

 In my project I will draw illustrations to a short story for children, therefore this research will help me to find information and answer to the big question: " What's make the great children book illustration? "  There is many factors what I need to consider before I will start drawing: - the age group.  - type an style of illustrations suitable for this age group - the book style - how many illustration I will include in my page. - what to avoid in the illustrations for children To decide in what style I will draw the pictures is also very important. Is that will be more cartoony or scary or is the pictures are relevant to the story. For example soft and gentle illustrations would not be perfect for a story about monsters. Go to the library an look at the real children's book is a good place to find the inspirations.  Is important to decide how many illustrations will be included in the book and what type of illustrations they are. That will affect to overal layo...

project plan schedule

During the meeting with the Tutor ,we have discussed everything regarding to my project. I have introduced my ideas and my first sketches to the book. "The magic of the amulet" is a story written by my friend's daughter. There are three main characters - Abby the little girl who lives on the tropical Island with her friends: Olivia the dolphin and Patrick the crab. I already know how they will look like. I need to think how to draw the Island and mermaids. In my head it will be a magical and colorful,  fantasy World.  My first idea was to draw 4 pictures based on the story and to make front and back cover. The Tutor advice was to create two more pages as the story will be more interesting and easier to read for the children. We talk trough every page and I am convinced now that is good idea to draw two additional pages. I will use Procreate and Flipsnack and I will make a mock book  to be able to see how will my book look in real life. I was so excided with this idea , th...
