3.) Layout Reference
Figure 2.0 Layout Reference
~The second step we had to do was create artwork for the
book. It would be fun to show another picture from the
story using simple point-and-plane illustrations. Then, with the finished grid system, typefaces and the
illustrations, we started the layout process.
4.) 1-st pg. till the end of 1st chapter
Figure 3.0 First Draft & Second Draft
~To much words and did not have any space for reader to
write. Without any hesitation, I go to print out the black and white book and the thumbnail with
color to see how it turned out and figure out if I needed to make two
changes before printing the final book which are the font size of my
body text because it is too big for reading and the book 's cover with
color is too bright for printing because of the gradient.
~After the test printing, I reduce my font and adjust my gradient
cover.

Week 4
General Feedback:
~When it comes to stage in layout, thinking about the layout and
the positioning right now this will influence in a bad way. Avoid the
laying out, can play with the illustrations and visuals and not create
that supposed to be I've got two colors. It is interesting, I'm on the
right track in terms of being very abstract and experimental with my
strokes and really cool. When I utilize the more intense it gets and how
I utilize both over here is actually quite nice. There's a slight
difference in the style. It show how I reconcile.
