Status Report Week 4 (Notes)

Things done:

-Rough summary of each event
-Rough drawings
-The story itself
-The drawings itself

Left to do:

-Put the whole book together
-Author's note
-Synopsis (Although, we are still thinking if this is necessary for children picture books)
-Cover page & colouring the drawings

Problems faced:

-We lagged behind when we were doing the story as we misunderstood how we were suppose to write it. We forgot that it was a children's picture and therefore the lesser the words and less detailed it is, the better.
-The drawings were also quite slow as Harman was putting too much details into the drawing. I think he forgot too that we were doing a CHILDREN'S picture book so it does not need any drawings that are very detaled.
-The blog was not updated BY wednesday as I did not have time to use the computer. It was updated today, 5 April 2012 at 7.05pm

Status Report Week 4



Drawings for when Uncle left, Taeyul's bike and the dropping of leaflets by the Americans.

Drawings for when Taeyul told Omoni and Abuji he volunteered for the airstrip, when Taeyul was at the airstrip and the coming of the Americans.

Drawings for the change of names, when uncle was beaten up, burning of sharon trees and the metal raid.
