I chose this image as my final book cover as I felt it really displayed my style and was just enough on the page. After finishing this, I started on my pages. As a design note, I decided to do my book landscape in the end, as I felt it would be a lot more striking for someone viewing it on a pc, as it will fill their screen. I will still have the option to have it printed as well.
Surprisingly, I managed to get 40 pages done in one day! Here is a few pages as an example, and why I designed them this way.
The foreword sets the scene of the book, and will be made up of the Idea, Art style and Story.
The large watercolours are accompanied by their original concept sketch to show development.
Full pages of sketches really help to set the scene.
A page full of development sketches is used to show the amount of development that went into each area of design.
Wide landscape images are used to help fill the page, and make it eye catching.
Opening pages for each section of the book has information on the pages to follow, as well as key design notes.
A typical development page of characters, filling the page with sketches in the order of their position in the development cycle.
Pages such as this show the work that went into designing costumes, which are accompanied by key design notes.
A character sheet page, showing different character emotions.
Each page will need checking on the University computers to see if they look ok, and there are no obvious lines around images.
