I changed the sheep because i wanted them to look the same as Lamby and Shelly. So i drew them in the distance wearing onesies. I think they look better than the first sheep i drew because it sticks with the theme of the sheep being hand drawn. It is also more obvious that they are lambs and so minus the writing i am pleased with this page and now it just needs the text to be finished. I made the lambs onesies orange and red as colour blind people can not distinguish these colours, just like they can’t with blue and purple. By only making the lambs wear the onesies, it makes it obvious that they’re the babies and therefore the colour blindness is only on them which relates to the children and highlights the fact that the book is testing for it in children.

This is another draft of my third page of the book, I am unsure so far, i really like the flowers that i have added. I created these on illustrator by making them a scatter brush, just like i did with the trees, however on Photoshop i then added Lamby and Shelly. But i need to add colour to Shelly as it looks as though she hasn’t been colour in at all. Therefore i feel it still needs work, but in terms of layout, i think it works because it’s as though we’re looking into the scene.

When i gathered the Colour blindess research, I found a diagram of how someone with Deuteranopia sees colours. (Image below) I then applied these colours to one of my background designs, however, i found this it’s not very appealing and wouldn’t actually test whether a child has this problem or not because the colours they would see if they were colour blind are actually the colours that they originally are, even to a person who has their full vision. So instead i am leaving all the colours normal and instead placing colours together that are difficult to distinguish between if you are colour blind.
