Storybook - Little Harry and Granny

I encountered some difficulties while uploading the files. So I had to grab Grace's copy (therefore her website address on the picture). Thanks grace!

I am in charge of the CG and colouring of the storybook. We decided to go with weili's (another partner doing CG and colouring) idea, inspired based on his real life experience.

Storyline:

little Harry wasn't appreciative of his granny, and one day while playing outside, he fell down and hurt himself. Granny came to help him up and sew his torn bib back. Little Harry was very happy. As Little Harry grew up and older, went to school and graduated and to work, he decided that he should visit granny one day. So off he went back to his granny's house and again, along the way, he tore his tie. Granny once again help him sew back but this time, she faced many difficulties due to poor eyesight. Little Harry noticed that the house was also in a mess. He thought to himself that he needs to help granny this time. He bought her new specs, clean up the house and cook dishes for granny. He promised that he will take care of granny and the story ends with them being happy and living with each other together.

We added a postcard to increase interactivity. Children can simply tear out the post card and write messages and mail to their granny.

We choose Little Harry after considering names such as Bobby, Little Joe. But Little Harry was the perfect match when we formed the title "Little Harry and Granny."

Assignment 6 (Final)

Before After


Audrey Hepburn's classic song Moon River.

I did not change much. My only worry for this piece is that there are too many colours but the feedback I received was that it was ok. I changed the word "river" because before that no one could read it.

I added other details such as iconic monuments (great wall, effiel tower, tower of pissa) to represent "such a lot of world to see".

I also changed the "two" because feedback was that it was not related. So I changed the font to "drift font" - same as the word "drifters".

Assignment 5 (Final)

I added snowflakes to the postcard pictures and enlarged the sign "Merry Christmas". Hope it looks bigger now.

I also changed the back of the postcard to make it look more fun and less boring. The intention is to attract more kids.

After spending much time looking at crystalised snowflakes, I created them at the back of the postcard and I'm considering to change the "dots-snowflakes" into crystlised ones for the front of the postcards.

Assignment 4 (Final)

Before After


This assignment took me awhile to refine it. Here's the before and after. The whole structuring and layout has changed. I didn't change much of the anorexia guy.

Photoshop help websites from Youtube, Google advised that I don't "pucker" the real picture too much otherwise it will not look realistic.

I played with the layout, font and colours. I decided to do away with the crossbone-and-skull image as it loeked like there were too many things in place, and the crossbone-and-skull image could also be associated to smoking or drugs. Here I think simplistic works best.

Assignment 3 (Final)

I restructured it so that it looks like a comic strip.
I follow the american comic style which is to read LEFT TO RIGHT.
After looking at examples of comics from the internet, I also added "issue number", "created by __" to make it more like a comic.

And here's the storyboard

Assignment 2 (Final)

Abstraction Process

I redid the namecards and came up with a new boilerplate about the company.


Namecard 1

front (black and white)


back (Black and white)

Namecard 2

The black and white back for namecard 2 is the same as the back for the coloured back namecard 2.

Assignment 1 (Final)

Before



After





This is the final work for Assignment 1.

I changed the colours mostly, especially for "I love themeparks". The feedback I received was that the colours for my name didn't stand out because the whole thing was itself very colourful.

I did not really alter much for "I love reading" but after consulting, I think that I may need to change it. I am unable to post the pictures yet, but you may see changes in portfolio.
