This image above is my completed prototype. I feel that I have put a lot of work into the development of this. I enjoyed a lot of parts of it as illustration is a strong passion of mine. I also constructively learned things in the process.
It took me all of my time and efforts to develop this piece, and I feel that I really gave it my all. However, I know now that time management is an aspect I really fell down on. I spent several weeks on Adobe Illustrator developing characters and then left myself short of time to develop other variations of the characters as well as my backgrounds.
However, I am confident this is something I will improve on in Phase 2. I need to allocate my time better and not put everything into one aspect and learn how to distribute the workload more efficiently.
I am happy with how the prototype looks. I really like the illustration style that I have settled on, and really like how the pencil stroke font choice fits in with it. Now that I am comfortable with my illustration choice, I can continue to design the rest of the book.
