Original ideas

The three images above demonstrate the first ideas I had when I first found out the theme of the unit two exam, I decided to look originally at spying, shadow and derelict buildings. The main idea i have chosen to pursuit is one of shadows and the form I want to convey them in is a children's book.   

Here I have brainstormed all the words and ideas I believe need to go into each individual aspect of the children's book, this I will use when putting together imagery and text.

Here I have four images I have hand drawn from my pinterest boards, to try and work with shadow I focussed a lot on the shading of the piece as this introduces all the ideas about light and dark that I will use in my final piece. 

These are my first basic sketches of my character ideas, I then built on these to produce my characters in ink that I will then further develop to create the main character of my children's book. 

This page shows some of my hand draw ideas for text on the cover of the book, I largely focussed on display type but included some more formal ideas for comparison and development.

Here I have four sketches that I then went on to ink, these ideas are my first ideas for the characters in my children's book that ic an then develop into images on my finished piece.
