IXD301 – Refining the Elements Project Prototype

I made the changes that were discussed in the group crit with Kyle, and have been developing on from the comic book idea, the image below are some screenshots of my work and how I have been creating on Figma.

PDF version –E-book

As seen above I have been experimenting with panels, bigger speech bubbles and larger texts. I think this works and makes for an interesting read.

What works?

  • Speech bubbles, it brightens up the pages and makes for a fun read for the kids
  • The large text in areas, it make it interesting and makes it easy to read for those who have poor sight
  • The mix match of panels is fun and is different on each page, this reflects the comic book idea and would keep the attention of the children

What doesn’t work/ needs work?

  • Text and font size – I always struggle with this and I am aware I need more practise on this subject. I feel like in some areas, the text does not look right in the speech bubbles and reads funny. This needs work
  • Background detail – although I added detail to most backgrounds, I still feel areas need some work and some more added flare to make it more interesting

Reflection

Overall I really liked changing this book to more of a comic and feel like although changes could be made I think this turned out well and I cant wait to see people reactions when they read it. My favourite part was coming up with characters and giving them powers, writing books is something I can see myself doing, so this was great practice for the future. I loved it.
