Bi-Weekly Report #3 (Week 5-10)

Our group started to brainstorming about the direction of our storybook. Our storybook title is "The Great Tale of Construction of Pyramid". At first we planned our target audience at the age range between 4 to 6 years old. For our book layout it would be B5 size. Color that we are using for the storybook would be more to the earth tone because most of our scene are from the desserts and happened at Egypt. We also planned to do some 3D pop-up for the children to be more understanding.

Character :-

• Horus (main character)
• The King/ Pharoah
• Isis (Horus wife)

Story line :-

• Happened long long time ago, a guy who lived at a village called Khufu, Egypt who lived happy ever after with his wife and 2 children. 
• Until one day the King of Egypt felt sick and planned to built a tomb for himself for his afterlife. 
• They need a mass of slaves to built the tomb, and Horus get caught to built the pyramid. 
• Everyday Horus have to work at least 10 hours a day and lifting tonnes of rocks. 
• Although is exhausted, Horus still work hard to built the pyramid as a convey royalty to their King. 
• After 20 years the pyramid finally finished construction. 
• -Horus a back to his family and live ever after. 

Material :-

• Straw board for the cover
• Mounting board for the pages of storybook
• Art card (we printed our visuals on it and mount onto mounting board)

Moral Value :-

• Royal to their King
• Hardworking and Unity

Lately, we have done some changes on the target audience after having consultation from tutor.
We changed our target audience from 4-6 years to be more specific that is 7 years old.
In our story line we also used some words that will be more harder than the 4-6 years old children. 

Due to the time management, our group decide to cancelled to 3D effects.
But in our storybook cover, we done some pop-up effects to make the storybook more interesting.

The final artwork is made quite last minute due to come complications. We did it within few hours. We did not have time to figure out the ways to attach the whole book together in such a short time. Despite all of that, we find our final output quite satisfying. We are happy with it and glad that we manage to complete it.
