Development: First Draft

For my first draft I wanted to go down the road of old fashioned and give the feeling that this book has been lost and has grown old over time. So first I decided to make the background which was coffee stained paper, which I scanned in to the computer. Also for the front cover I took a photo of a leather bag and then uploaded it and worked with it in photoshop.

What you see above is all the pages for my first draft. When I showed this to Miss Stower she did not think that it worked and did not like it. The pages were to separated from each other and they needed to be thought of as being one page and cut into the two pages that I needed. Also Miss Stower thought that they should be more graphic, layer, shape, different background, elements to my work. Furthermore she thought that I should pull the creatures into the 21th century, "What would the creatures be like today?" Here is the idea that Miss Stower showed me to inspire me on how to change my piece of work.
