Task 2: Content Generation
For this task we were first directed to come up with 3000 words
whether it is online or write it ourselves. I choose to find a
story online. Initially the idea was for find a story that was
horror themed. I went through a few websites and found a story
called go Play by Jeffery Arce. This although turned out to be a
sad story, I found it descriptive and interesting.
We then formatted the text into 3 paragraphs. Then we read though
each chapter found the subtext and pull quote we wanted to use in
the book. After this the last step was to highlight 16 points
throughout the book where we would either turn them into
illustrations or photographs or even mixed media.

Visualisation
The next for me was to ideate what kind of visuals i want to use. I
think for me the best way to go about this was to choose
illustrations. This is because I wanted to create the kind of
visuals that looked almost whimsical with details, almost like a
children's book. Moreover, I think that this kind of illustrations
would go really well with the story itself.

After the realisation that the sketches don't really go well
with the theme that I was going for I decided to include more
details.

After i finished all the sketches I started the colouring
process. This process took longer than anticipated

Since it didn't look right with some of the illustrations being
a little bit blurry, i went ahead and added some noise to
the illustrations on illustrator.

FEEDBACK
Week 2
General Feedback: You have to create 16
visuals for your story, make sure that the
visuals created aren’t literally what the
words describe.
Specific feedback: The introduction for the
story line is too short, make sure that the
introduction is close to equivalent to the
chapters.
Week 3
General Feedback: - formatting text should appear in
task 1 and task 2
- grid and text on in design (50 character and no
less than 35 characters in one line)
- Come up with 3 different grid systems (3 layouts
for the book)
Specific Feedback: - In the type of illustration of
choosing, the details are very important. You can do
the kine sketches of all the illustrations first and
then do the colouring after.
Week 4
General Feedback: -
Specific Feedback: - -The
submission of the e portfolio
for task 2 is due week 6.
Week 5
General Feedback: -
The formatting should
be done by next week.
The next time, you
should attempt
something that is
different but works
well with the story
and your
illustrations.
Specific Feedback: -
The text font is a bit
too harsh, you should
feel more comfortable
to crop and scale the
images in a way that
will fit the layout.
The illustrations are
a bit blurry, you can
try to fix it by
increasing the noise
of the illustrations
and try to maintain
that throughout all
the other
illustrations as well.
REFLECTION
Experience
I found this task to be quite interesting. Although i would
say that the type of illustrations I chose to do was quite
time consuming. And since this is the first time i was using
procreate to do the illustrations it was quite challenging and
time consuming with some of the artworks. Especially the ones
with a-lot of detail on them.
Observation
I think that most of the errors Ive made were on the artworks itself in
the sense that some of them came out a bit blurry when i resized the
work in accordance to my liking. Even though I had made the sketches on
a art-board that was twice the size of the dimensions of my book. But I
only saw this afterwards due to the unfamiliarity to procreate
Findings
I think that the only solution for the final artwork to be
less blurry would be to raise the noise a bit as Mr. Vinod
mentioned. Other than that, I would say thatI learned alot
though this task. I am now more familiar with procreate. I
know next time what mistakes I won't make.
