ok gives you an idea but quality is rubbish!
gem think you are going to have to sort it out!

index tree idea

 just placed them on to see what it will look like.

I have redone the fairy however did it in photoshop so dont think the qualities have mixed well with original illustrator design?
think these colours will be better on the dark background though?
think wand needs to change colour too.
what you guys think?
GUYS IVE CREATED A ROLLOVER IN DREAM WEAVER !!!!!!!!!
i prefer yours, i think, how did u do that, it looks really cool!!!
hey, are we have the logos, on the index page aswel as the having the option further in?

educational logo!


using your storytime, took the word off then added a larger version of it behind and took the opacity down so create a kind f look- ie rollover?? wot u think
luce is drawing books now! you could put them on winter screen - winter tree, winter boy and the 2 books?
there we go girls u want me to try n draw books also??
gem can you put the fairy up by itself so we can put it straight into photoshop?

storytime logo!

hey I have had a go at colouring this image in. what you think?

re done the fairy so we can change the colours etec, this is now what she looks like, also the kids
What is Weather? Arial

What is Weather? Courier

What is Weather? Georgia

What is Weather? Trebuchet

What is Weather? Veranda

What is Weather? Times


These are some of the appropriate fonts for web use. What do you think for our site?
Personally I prefer the rounder either arial, veranda or trebuchet. Then we could always use times for the smaller print eg the fairy story? But I think times looks too sophisticated?

storytime logo

 thought this could be the logo on the righthand side of the tree. maybe with a mini fairy on the book cover!?
thought about using this as a title to the pages with the static and then the choice of either eduction or fun side, then the tree where its taken out maybe or maybe the tree and the kids with then?? the kids have gone funny as i only placed them rather than saving etc!!

educational logo for index page

hey, thought this when redrawn and coloured  could be our logo for the educational side, with a book per season and the book the same colour as the children's t-shirt. with the type written on the book bind. what you think? 

background in progress

need to add the fairy and the snowflakes and figure out how we are going to add the text

the kids that yet again i have created but at least there done, i have put sunnies on the girl but i odnt thin they look right on her, so will think of somthing else. i like the hat and scarf on rest though





the index page for the site, using becca's trees to create the image, just overlaying thema nd using the cloning tool to mash it all together!!
Final Trees!


hey girls,
really like both of your styles, think tomorrow we need to experiment with the opening page to see what looks best and get some kind of unity?

i have created the other little girl for summer, i havent finshed the hair again, yet i do like this one but her eyes look funny

the girl for either spring or for autumn with a scarf added, i dunno wot i think, i haven't finished the hair yet but apart from that its not to bad, the colours look bad 2getha also but we can change them together!
 yeh i think your right with that, i tried to do it, with summer girl in bright vest top and skirt, and spring girl in top and jeans. i think accs would be good though. x
think we need some kids in approtaite clothes if that makes sense, ie winter in coat hat n scarf, autumn in a hat n scarft n jumper, summer in skirt/shorts n short top, n spring in tshirt n jeans??? wot u fink xx

girls roughly coloured!

colour are being odd 2nite, was thinking this for a colouring page what do you guys think??

Thursday, November 6, 2008

there not that colour why are the like this grrrrr its taken forever to get them on here! i dunno wot u think of them was just another idea.
cant see trees?!
using becks trees i up them into illustrator to draw them, what do you think, Ive done all 4 as u can see bit bored, im not sure about the autumn one though, what do you think?? ive also created a site map
the trees look cool, but we were thinking of trying different ones just to see also it will be more experimention. im not hooked on the brown paper idea either sorry guys!! x

Spring Tree


Spring tree!
Once again the quality isn't very good, you can't see the texture and detail. I do like it in life though!
Also needs to be on brown paper.
What do you guys think?

Tree 1



Opening tree - was going to put it on the brown paper in photoshop?

Or may have to be redone on the paper.

Quality is not very good, think it will be better if I scan it in?

I don't think it looks full enough but maybe that will change when it's on the brown paper?

Looks better in life!

hey, becca can you load your tree pics up because we need to see the collage effect to see if it will fit with the style, as it needs to be consistant? have you found an appropriate font?
he is on the wrong side, and u cant see his legs but they are there!!
the original fairy that lucy drew, re-drawn in illustrator however i don't no about the colours and it still needs a face.

refined boy

 what you think, I have changed him a little bit. also have done him waving, and with both arms in the air! once I know you two like the design style, will use him for the basis for the other three. Going to put a dress, a skirt and the other boy with trousers on. is this all ok?? going to hand colour one of him in and mount on brown paper so I know what he will look like! will put on here when completed. (this is a photo of my work, as dont have scanner at home, so it will be clearer really!)
cant get this blogger to load my pics, grhhhhh

boy

 Cartoon boys! I have been sketching some cartoon boys, as I think boys will be harder to draw than girls. Just trying to get a style, non of them are great drawings, but I think this one is my favourite style, and fits with the style of the fairy.

story

This is the story that me and Becca tried writing yesterday afternoon for the snow fairy:

Way up high, sleeping softly on the clouds are thousands of snow fairies. They rest peacefully until it gets so cold, they wake up to their whole bodies shivering. The shaking of their arms causes their wands to produce thousands of sparkling snowflakes which fall all the way down to earth, which allows children to play in snow.

Let me know what you two think. I think the language is simple enough, I don't think the ending is very strong.... and additions? ways it could be better?
