Genie the Giraffe - finals

Yayyy so I finished some! Check it!

This is what the cover looks like...:

The writing for the title "Genie the Giraffe" and the little window for Genie is actually open so when you open it, you see this...

I printed the mock-up at Kinko's and the images came out a little more saturated, but fortunately (?) my class liked it more saturated. So I suppose I should be more confident with the colors I choose and brighten them up a tad more. We'll see.

Here's a little snip-it on the first page. Mind you, It's a pop-up so Genie's head is supposed to raise up when you open the book.

Critique away my friends!

New Story!

Hello hello,
So. Illustrated Book.
I finally decided instead of continuing my work with "On the Way to School," I am going to start a whole new book called "Genie the Giraffe."

This is Genie:

A special kind of giraffe called Superlongoneckaraffe and that means that she has an exceptionally long neck. With that neck, she noses around other animals' business at the zoo.

 

The class decided the red Genie is the best. And with Jamie's suggestion, I'm going to use the purple Genie for a night scene. 

I want to make the story a pup-up, but with the limited time, I'm gearing toward the slide/interactive book. 

We'll see how it goes. 

Some color scheme studies:

Class decided on the one at the very left.

Any feed back would be great!
