2nd (3rd?) Post of Layouts

Here's another post on the re-drawn/cleaned-up line drawings and placement of the text. Unfortunately, I've been feeling really busy working on these so (even though the posts should have been more spread out) I'm trying to make up for it by posting now with the work I've been doing.

Layouts Again

These are pics of the type put over the areas that they should be within the layout. The space for the text should be decreased and the images increased. This is already done and the pics of the re-drawn work will be posted in a bit.

Presentation 02

Here are a few screenshots of the 2nd presentation on my progress for my senior project...

I know, I need to work on the type (I only just started placing it into the illustration). I left too much space for the text because I was worried about not having enough space. So now I have to enlarge the illustrations to fix that (and also make the illustrations the primary aspect).

Inspiration

Here are a few images of inspiration I've collected throughout my working. Will update more, but the Senior Show is kicking my tail!

Past Due Update

Here are some (admittedly poor) scans of the sketches I've done for one of the fables. This is past due (and I've got some other works ahead of this), but this is what I've got on the computer and can upload for the blog so far.

I planned on knowing where to insert the type (made a layout for it in InDesign) before I finalized the sketches and color it in.

Small Update

So my Revised (Revised) Senior Project Proposal passed!!! Yay! Look forward to a bunch of foxes! So far I have worked on breaking up the text and it looks like the illustrated children's book will have five fables and eighteen illustrated pages. I have researched a reference file for red foxes and drew up a bunch of foxes just to get me more familiar with the animal (pictures of the sketches will be posted later as I find a method of uploading since I don't have a scanner). I also drew a couple of the foxes in old english clothing (I have sketches of old english clothing for men and women I will also (later) post. I tried a quick color version of one of the foxes with marker and am debating on using a similar style with acrylic paint. The next phase is to draw some base sketches of the book layout (get a good idea of what illustrations will be on each page). I have already marked out a few notes as three fables will have three illustrations each, one fable having four illustrations,and another having five illustrations. So far, only one fable has a full spread illustration, but I am planning on changing that since it would be a more interesting break up if there were more full spreads interspersed among single page illustrations. I'm thinking of connecting some of the single page ones together in a way that a visible action can be seen so the pages are linked together through movement. I'll have a better example of that (a visible one) later as I work on it.

Monday is my first presentation day so I am hoping to get a lot more done by then. It's unfortunate that the revisions for my proposals took up so much time, but I'm still feeling very positive about it!
