Eco Academy - open evening leaflet

-

During the research I saw many information about the schools open evening and that was my inspiration to create the leaflet for the Eco Academy. 

I used my pictures which I created before with the school building placed in the Aylestone Meadows. The school logo was placed on the white rectangle shape on the building. Later on I realised that, I used the wrong layer and the logo wasn't visible on the building.  



 I started with one picture , school address and logo, which later on develop in the totally different way.


Finding the right background colour was challenging as nothing was good enough and kept trying and trying. Very helpful was the Oto255.com website were I was able to find every single colour and shades. I opened the website on the left side on my ipad to have easy access, to use colour that I like, I copied the colour number to procreate colour wheel. There are some examples what I have tried:



I added one more picture of the Eco Academy with the swans and river view. I thing that would be more attractive and encouraging people to visit the school. As it is the Eco Academy that view and school environment is important.
Eventually I used the picture which I painted after the meditation exercise, which was my very first attempt to the project and the Earthly Delight theme. 

I used the same Chalkboard font again, this time in white as the background is bright and colourful. This time logo without the background doesn't fit well, so I used  different version  
White pictures frame works better that black one. I like the fact that the leaflet  different and colourful. The main idea is to be noticeable and inviting to visit the School


If someone decide to visit my school that is a small sneak a peak from inside. In particular, how the lockers looks like.



update:

After receiving constructive comments from Sam, I decided to change something in the leaflet background. I agree with him and when I am looking on my design now I wonder what I was thinking crating something that busy and chaotic.
Reducing the opacity to 50% doesn't help. Picture looked dull and the text disappeared. I tried to fix it somehow by adding a black shade underneath the text, unfortunately that does not help.

    The locker mock ups work well.

    Could the colour on the background image for the open evening be softened? Maybe try it at 50% if possible - at the moment it seems to overtake the photographic images and distracts the eye.

Eco Academy Tote Bag mock up

-
Image
 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...
