After completing the presentation we each had to make our individual page for the team document. This page had to cover our own research and we where advised to treat it like an information poster instead of just a page of text. Unlike the video for this we had more individual creative freedom because the pages didn’t need to have the same format. The only thing we kept consistent was the landscape orientation so that it fits nicely as a team document.
Below is my page covering all my research about children’s book illustration. I planned out the poster in sections based on how I researched it, an introduction/ overview, the history, future/importance and case studies. I think the page has lots of information but isn’t too crammed that it becomes a mess. To make it more visually engaging I used a blue water colour paper texture for the background and complementary orange boxes for the text. Also I added in images the back up what the text was saying and various children’s book characters around the page.
This is the team document we submitted containing the link to the video and each of our pages of individual research. We kept the same cover for the document and video to provide visual consistency to make them look like a pair.
I found this project interesting as I was able to learn lots about an industry of interest to me, book illustration. Also it helped to improve my team working and communication skills as we had to stay in contact and work together to progress through the project and produce the desired outcomes.
