For this project I began by looking at some of my favourite books I read as a child.
The “Biff, Chip and Kipper” Books.
“Spot the Dog” Books
“Kipper” Books
“Dear Zoo” Book
I think they key to creating this picture book is not not over complicate my designs – if I keep them simple, I can add more, depending on how it looks.
I need to come up with my storyline, main characters and colour palette first, before I start thinking about my layout and sketching all my designs out.
I am hoping my upbringing with lots of younger siblings will be an advantage for me in this project, as I have lots of books to look at from home, as well as a history of reading a lot of them to my siblings when they were younger.
