Signing in.... Welcome back to another technology 'Create project' blog post. Since last post we have now finalised our project and just need to put the ibook together. My focus in the assignment was Illustrations, singing the main jingle and narrating the story. For the illustrations I sketched the images first then coloured them in to give a more accurate image. Initially we were going to paint the images with water colour however the water colour wouldn't have shown up as clear in ibooks as using coloured pencils which we decided to do in the end. Since the last blog that showed some of the image drafts, I have finalised the images. After long hours of colouring in I finished and sent them to my project partner Felicity, for her to collate them all in the ibook, along with the mp3 files for each page along with the narration as well as written text on the page to read along. Recording the narrations (voice overs): Felicity sent through the garage band files with the music she composed and I recorded myself speaking the text over the top using a snowball mic, then sent the final product back to her to place in the ibook. Below are the final images (in order): The use of bright and vibrant colours, targets the books set audience 'Children' and reflects the excitement Holly feels in the lead up till christmas. We aimed to create as realistic images as we could as shown below Above are the finalised musical themes for each day in the lead up till christmas day. Each theme was based of the main jingle however vary in tempo and tone colour to suit the mood of each page as the mood slightly changes. Attached is the final edited story line for the children book 'Holly's Christmas' Overall the process to creating this children's book, was a process of learning how to formulate a children's book, by using ibooks to create an online, multi-useful and interactive book for children. The process included creating a theme, a storyline, illustrations for each page and music to reflect the theme of each page along with a main jingle to tie the story together. A link to the complete ibook is uploaded below, so click to get the first look at 'Holly's Christmas'. https://www.dropbox.com/s/amwf4dvk4dbl4ri/Holly%27s%20Christmas.ibooks?dl=0 Signing out.....
