The End

Over the course of the last pages I haven't really kept track of how I was working on them. I followed the story line as you can see in the final product. The printed version has turned out quite nicely, and I'll post some images below. Below you'll find me reflecting on my own work.

Likes
- I like that the final product has the general feel and look that I was aiming for.
- Certain pages look pretty like the mostly black pages. They are my favorite.
- The colorscheme is pretty
- The riddles have turned out quite well

Dislikes
- The paper
- The concept
- The storyline
- The water-color-design

What I'd do differently next time
The paper hasn't really turned out the way I hoped it would. Printing it on plain slightly thicker sandy paper made it look hideous. In the end I settled for a thicker glossier paper then I wanted. The next time I'd consult with the printer earlier to get is just right.

The concept is maybe not that bad in and of itself I'm just worried that I doesn't suit the target audience, and that it looks far to mature. I'd try and get that in check next time. Maybe by showing some of the works to children.

The riddle-story-line-information is a horrible idea quite frankly. After I was done I really didn't understand why I didn't settle for a normal story line: Have Morgan discover some special powers, wake up in a black-and-white world etc. Maybe I was too caught up in my own idea to look at it with fresh eyes and see the importance of a better story. Idea fixation or something.

The water-color-design. I guess that it's not that bad. But I really wanted to achieve a more painted kind of look that looks like ink on the actual paper.

Final Conclusion
I guess that in the end the content doesn't look that bad. It has the look that I was going for and all in all I do think that it provides lots of good information in a fun and engaging matter. Which was the whole idea behind the concept anyway.
It has taught me many great things this project: My Photoshop- skills aren't as bad as I taught. I learned to work with layer-masks (Which I had never done before). And through it all I really saw the importance of a good story line. You'd think I would have gotten that through the course of my education, but apparently I needed to be reminded.

Below you'll find some of the imagery that I created. The final document is uploaded on Hubl.
Thank you and goodnight.
