Me, My book and I

‘’`Snowball’’ book

The book that I decided I wanted to make was going to be a kid’s book that has a moral message within. I came up with the idea of relating a kid’s book to me by using a pig on my Dad’s farm that has appeared to become a permanent fixture as the main character. This theme summarize my connection to my childhood, as I grew up there, as well as my connection with animals, especially the animals that have lived on the farm. I wanted to explain how animals that are bred and born to be eaten wouldn’t have existed if not for that purpose through a children’s book.

I planned to have a small and string bound book. With large simple text, that has a simple way of reading, so it appeals to the young audience, as well as a simple and bold style that also appeals to the same audience. I drew simple sketches in my book first, then to take photos with my phone, then use my phone app program to create my new, bold style that I need for this project.

I developed my skills with computer illustration more using my phone app. As I learnt more about using layers and locking together separate images to build up the final illustrations. I also progressed my understanding of `Adobe illustrator, by putting together my final images and text, I learnt how to position artboards and use my new knowledge of layers from my phone app in this program.
