//These are some of the examples i looked at to see how they arranged text and what font they used. I found that it’s best to keep it simple so that the children can read them clearly. The text is arranged around the pages though depending on where it is most visible and so i have also done this when adding text to my book.
//To start this project, i have taken a look at some existing children’s book covers. My first initial ideas are to base my story on a lamb, therefore i looked in to book covers featuring lambs. The covers featuring lambs are more of a simple design rather than realistic or complicated. I chose to include these in my research because my digital drawing skills aren’t so good that i could produce a realistic, complicated piece. I also looked at some other story books for ideas and inspiration and came across the Gruffalo, i really liked this design because it looks as though it has been coloured in with pencil crayon, i liked this because it reflects childrens interests and hobbies such as colouring with pencil crayons, so i feel it would attract childrens attention. I also want to make my book educational and to test for colour blindness and so it can not only show children was colours are which but also help identify colour blindness in children. The images below show the examples i selected for research.
