I then used the information from the brief and the mind map to create a project proposal detailing what I'm going to be achieving in my project. I also started to solve photoshop problems through tutorials by finding problems which i couldn't understand how to fix then i would look at a tutorial and copy the way they fixed the problems.

I learnt a few photoshop techniques through Hannah's tutorial. I found problems in work management but i sorted it out by sharing work between the group.

I need to improve and develop my understanding of children's book designs so that my e-book has the right features to attract young children.

The next action will be completing the necessary research which is needed for target audience and barriers and solutions, i can complete this by researching different publishing companies.

2.I put the image on photoshop and made it the international paper size. I also changed the dimensions of the image by making it landscape.

3. I began to fill in the fore ground of my image by using the rectangular selection tool which then I used the colour pallet to make a darker blue so that the white ice shows up against the water more effectively. I used opacity to actually make the water blue.

4. I then changed the colour of the sky by reversing the selection area and made the Skye a lighter tone, this was a problem with reversing the selection at first but after looking at tutorials I found I could do it.

5. I then began using the magnetic selection tool to cut round the icebergs in the fore ground although while doing this I found problems with making the image look jagged but when I changed the colour the icebergs looked right.

6. I wanted to add a penguin into my image but I found that cutting around the image wit the magnetic selection tool caused the picture to come out jagged, therefore I thought it would be easier to find an image of penguin that had already been cut out.

We used photoshop to start editing some of the images we drew in the session before although there were some problems I came across which were that I had difficultly filling areas due to breaks in the lines next time I would use a fine liner instead of pencil to make the lines bolder and darker so that the software will work. I successfully put animals fur onto the bat by making another tab , selecting with the rectangular selection tool , then pulling this into the tab with the image, then finally using the opacity scale to put it on the bat. Next time I use photoshop I will use image duplicate because this means I can see the difference between the sketch and the furthered ideas.

We started to plan our scripts by merging ideas each of us had created, this came out as a finished story board of ideas. We then looked at dialogue for each scene and what would happen in each scene, we decided on 8 pages/scenes as this is not time consuming to animate and can be achieved in the time period we have been given. After this we started to write the introduction of our personal scripts and then we started making the first initial scene using a variety of mediums like pastels , biro and other creative bits. I believe mine came out looking quite professional, I have decided that I want to do a biro based illustrations with some areas coloured in which are important to the story like the rocket and characters.
