Task 3: Sample design, double page spread of a childrens recipe.

 

 

For this task I first looked other example picture recipes and at how other illustrators had laid out there pages. Here is a few examples.

 

My double page spread was on the “Strawberry crown” Recipe. I picked this because it wasn't too short and wasn't to long and sounded like something I myself would enjoy making.

I designed two simple characters to go with the recipe sheet, a small girl and a floating robot (who would do the harmful tasks like cutting). The illustrations are simple and fun and do not distract from the text but instead help the child/children understand what to do.

 

The text may seem a little small but I usually draw by hand and then scan redraw it on the computer. So the text would be properly considered in size/readability when the piece is/would be redrawn.

This also applies to the colour. The colours are a little dim when done by hand but in the final I would use computer colours that would be brighter and leave the text more visible.
