website update

-

I worked on my website and I basically changed everything. The colours and pictures which I have used before it was not me anymore. I started with changing background. I chose something like this from the gallery as it is simple and quite nice. I used a similar picture on each page, however I felt there is still something wrong.


 I took my sketchbook , pencils and brushes and I took a picture of it. Then I changed it to the black and white and uploaded into the website.


It turn up well and I think is much better than picture from the Wix gallery. I have changed the font colour and the menu strip as the brown colour doesn't look good with black and white photo.


I created a new sub page called Eco Academy and started looking for  a good background picture. I needed something quite dark because the main important would be the gallery with my project.


I though that picture which I took earlier in Aylestone meadows would be perfect for that. And again I uploaded it into my website and I changed into black and white. 



On the left side of the page I clicked symbol "+" and I added new gallery to my website. I chose simple one where viewer will be able to look on my pictures in the full screen mode. 


I have changed the background colour in the gallery for the dark grey and I choose a new font and font size for the text underneath the each picture. 
I also make changes on every single page on my website.
It took me a while, unfortunately when I came back home everything looked differently on my laptop. I pressed " save" and "publish" however something is still wrong.

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...
