Final Illustrations

Using photoshop to combine my hand drawn illustrations and my edited page templates, I have created my final page layouts. These consist of 3 single page spreads and one double page spread. I utilised the layouts that I played around with during my development and I am very pleased with the outcome of my work.

The page size of the book 'Gardening on a Shoestring' is smaller than A4 size, and as a result I had to measure out the size of the page and draw a box around the page layout. This will be cut to size when printed to ensure my final publications are accurate to the original book.

Here are the digital copies of my final pages

 

Here are my final printed pages. I am very pleased with how they turned out, I feel that they have a very professional look to them, the illustrations are subtle and informative and really support the text, so I have achieved what I set out to do in the IOT unit. I feel like the style of the illustrations really fit in with the book as well, they are not overly decorative and this is something my research has helped me to achieve. Overall I am very happy with my final pages!
