FINAL PROJECT - CHILDREN'S STORYBOOK

Had fun doing final project with my group mates! It was very fun indeed! Though very time-consuming and tedious... Haha. So here's a preview of our story - Yummy Wars: The Adventures of Buniverse and CooLaLa.

There were two planets named Buniverse and CooLaLa. In Buniverse, the citizens are called Buniversites and their king is Burger King. They live off the Holy Mountain of burgers in the planet. In CooLaLa, the citizens are called Coola-ians and they worship Lady LaLa. They live off the soft drink spring in their planet. One day, Buniverse realised a shortage of food supplies and need water! CooLaLa also realised that they needed food! Hence, they began to spy one each other and eventually declared war on each other for the supply of food and drink. However, they realised that they should actually SHARE their food resources instead so that it could benefit both planets! And so, both planets merged and they lived happily ever after. =))

The culture is about the culture of SHARING.

Here's our developmental process!

Characters Development

Buniversite Development

Burger King Development

 Coola-ian Development

Lady LaLa Development

Some things to note:

We were very inspired by many different things and hence, used quite a number of parodies in our storybook to enhance the interest and the "fun" element  for our readers when reading the book.

1. The title parodied Star Wars.

2. The merge of Buniverse and CooLaLa - the image of burger and coke together.

3. Burger King - Burger King Fast-food Restaurant

4. Lady LaLa - Lady Gaga

5. The cover of our book is actually Burger King and Lady LaLa lying back to back on each other - Mr and Mrs Smith poster.

Analysis:

Many considerations have to be made while doing the project.

1. The text placement was a huge problem in order not to infringe the theory of attention control.

2. Colour contrasting was also considered. For instance, our Buniversites were of cool colours as oppose to it's hot surrounding. 

3. The characters were contrasted in size as well for easy recognition. For example. Buniversites were thin and long while Coola-ians were fat and compressed.

ASSIGNMENT 5 - INFOGRAPHIC

We are supposed to create an infographic on the topic of fighting climate change! Here's my developmental process.

Development 1

Development 2

Development 3

Description:

Development 1 is my rough sketch for the infographic. Basically, I just sketched out the placement of objects and text for the infographic. 

Development 2 is after I coloured my infographic. However, I feel that it is still quite simple and plain, hence I added in the footprints as seen on the final prototype. 

After tutorial presentation, feedbacks were given that I should make some sense of the foorprints and not just adding in just for the sake of complicating the product. Hence, I changed the title of my project to "Steps to Combat Climate Change".

Final Prototype

Analysis:

In this assignment,  I applied the theory of attention control by leaving gaps at the top, bottom and sides of the texts. Also, I applied the theory of balance within each box and within the whole infographic.
