We have decided amongst the three of us to focus on a main page of each of the products and then to create the rest of the pages together and separately to show both our individualism and our ability to work together in a group.
From this, we decided together to create the graphics that we will need for our website, app and posters. We looked back again on the hand-drawn designs of the Sackboy from the Little Big Planet franchise, and agreed to create child-like, hand-drawn features to put onto our products. We looked at hand-drawn vectors such as the one below, and also the websites and apps that we had looked at previously. We decided to go with bright colourful graphics that would attract a child. As well as planets we also decided to include Einstein as a graphic, because he was obviously a major part of the brief, and also because his large hair and moustache would be a great model for children.
The first graphics that we looked at we just randomly picked from the internet. We then enhanced the colours and placed them on crumpled paper, to make it look as if somebody had stuck them onto the page. These are the graphics below.
However, after having a meeting to discuss the progress of our work, we decided against using these graphics, as we felt it would be much more professional to have the graphics be hand-made. Nat volunteered to do these: she drew the graphics onto paper, painted them with watercolour and then scanned them into the computer to be edited digitally, such as enhancing the colours again. These are the second attempt at graphics below.
I like these graphics a lot better because they feel better aimed at our target audience. I think the use of the paints really worked out well because it adds to the hand-drawn feeling.
